is it one of the open run posters POW did for a tenner?

Hi,

Thanks for your post & comments. I would have to disagree with your post for the following reasons if you re-read my initial sales post which is very direct & clear :

(1) In the title of the item for sale ..... It clearly states Plate Signed.
(2) In the written description ........ It clearly states Plate Signed again.
(3) In the written description ....... It clearly states it is not signed & not numbered.
(4) I provided a pricing range that I found available as I have not had this print displayed for over 8 years. Hence ....... letting potential buyers have a look around.

Within my description ......... I describe the poster as it is : A Lithograph........ That being a printing process used to print text or artwork onto paper. Originally it was done with a " Stone or a Metal Plate " and of the last 20 years or so ....... "Aluminium" Plates are used.

I try to keep my posts direct & factual but appreciate your input. Here's a signature in Yellow on its way for framing 😊

Not mis-leading at all!!

Good sales pitch with the only thing missing being a price...

EDIT: plate signed or signed in the plate is recognised terminology. I recently saw a print described as 'signed in the image' which I did find mis-leading (incidentally it flew way above market value so I suspect it confused a few others as well).

Yes, signed in the plate is common for prints, though rarely for "urban" prints.
I have a Miro which is signed in the plate.
It's not a signed print. The plate containing the original image was signed and so the signature was reproduced along with the image when the prints were made from the plate.
I also think it's questionable to say that this litho is signed in the plate. The OP is I think referring to the tag. The tag is not Banksy's signature with reference to prints. For example signed golf sales come with and without the tag.

Sold it for £560 in the end. Just over four months ago. Would appear posters such as Save and Delete, Soup Cans, Monkey Parliament, Tesco Petrol Bomb et al are becoming very collectable and are rapidly increasing in value.

Easier to sell if you have the original POW tube with all its labels including Royal Mail date stamp plus the original Protx receipt.

Is still some banksy posters for sale on POW £10

FYI - you can't describe anything framed as 'Mint'. Reduces the red mist from the collectors on here...... and as you can see, refrain from stating signed, if it does not involve the artist putting pencil to your paper then avoid any such description....Good luck.

Thanks for the information. As the seller :

(1) I can describe it as Mint as it was Mint prior to framing and it was framed properly.

(2) I have explained in prior post what Plate Signed means & if you look at the next post, a forum member has kindly provided a link confirming this.

It is an Offset Lithography Plate Print Signed 😊

So what do we the golf sale and barcode pieces that have the stamped banksy tag, are they stamped or plate.......


Genuine question for forum information, so anybody who actually knows and isn't guessing wants to get off there high horse and answer it can do.......


No worries

It's comical that even galleries don't know what "plate signed" means!

Its a poster

the end

I think that's pretty much what I tried to say 10 hours ago.

Unsigned offset litho
Or poster.
Could say with printed tag, but not really necessary as we can see it!
imo
