Banksy • Soup Cans Poster, by dani on Aug 25, 2020 20:39:35 GMT 1, I got one directly from POW and it's decent quality for a poster but never thought it seemed like a screen print.

Banksy • Soup Cans Poster, by Dive Jedi on Aug 25, 2020 20:43:59 GMT 1, I would file a complaint with POW. Get your money back !!!
Surely it's not a quality screenprint. But compared to the museum posters it's a step up.... The Bristol Museum posters? Are you sure? Mine (direct from POW) seem as thick as the Soup Cans poster. Hahahaha, apparantly we have completely different posters.
Mine are all direct from POW as well.
Can we agree Museum posters are as shiny as posters. And Soup Cans is more paper texture. ?

I had to go to the portfolio and touch it ahah, it is indeed thicker than cheap posters and paper is perhaps not as glossy as regular posters but for anyone putting up 1k for it, gotta remember it's still a poster

Can we agree Museum posters are as shiny as posters. And Soup Cans is more paper texture. ? The museum posters are slightly shinier. Don't get me wrong, they're both thicker than what I would consider a standard poster (I had Pamela Anderson and Pearl Jam posters all over my walls back in the day) but I just don't see much difference between the two.
It's hard to take photos of them with my phone.

Price given To give an insight with the paper used Some new members assume these are screen prints and a few unaware of the price these originally were And next will be comparing to heavy stock art paper🙄

Banksy • Soup Cans Poster, by bdr79 on Aug 25, 2020 23:34:54 GMT 1, Whilst everyone is talking about poster texture.....are the Palestine Posters....very 'papery' for want of a better word.
There's no shine...sorry I don't know the words really to describe it.
Almost, if a poster was varnished to give it the shine, the Palestine would be unvarnished?
Does that make sense?

Banksy • Soup Cans Poster, by yungchrollo on Aug 26, 2020 21:03:14 GMT 1, Hello everyone, Looking to purchase a Banksy poster as a newer collector starting out from the lower end. Crawling the posts, I have become interested in purchasing one of the following Banksy prints: GDP Rat, Soup Can and the Flower print(if someone is willing to sell for around 1200). I am also interested in 1 or 2 Banksy Peckham rocks if there is a good deal and particularly a walled off hotel Key fob(balloon girl variant). I am also interested in the Forgive us Our Trespassing print and museum posters if someone is selling as a set. Am located in the US, and also have the following for trade if someone is interested. Thank you

Banksy • Soup Cans Poster, by avec art on Aug 29, 2020 11:36:30 GMT 1, none of the genuine soup cans are in 'mint' condition. Because they were printed in 2007 or something, real ones have slight yellowing around the edges, natural ageing. Coming from someone who maxed out at the end of POW they mostly have a corner or two dinged or folded. There was no extra packing for them so they slipped around inside the tube.

Pow sold loads of these when closing.. all genuine and mainly mint

Their condition is fine, but I wouldn't describe them as mint. Sellers don't generally say so but they all have slight yellowing around edges, it's not so obvious but it's there. For me it would ring alarm bells if it wasn't there 🤦🏼♂️

Banksy • Soup Cans Poster, by concrete jungle on Aug 29, 2020 12:57:33 GMT 1, Pow sold loads of these when closing.. all genuine and mainly mint Not sure about the mainly mint, plenty of them were creased I'd tend to agree. Remember at the time plenty of people on here getting creased, edge damaged prints - but for £10 (and limited numbers) not much could be done. I have a decent condition one myself bought from the final batch and there is a feint yellow tinge on the edges - as suggested fully in keeping with being well over 10 years old. Doesn't worry me - to be honest adds to authenticity; I previously bought a version of the same print through a poster company about 7 years ago, and although it had a bright white background, having compared it with the real thing - it was obviously a copy. Gave it to my son to stick up in his student flat😁

do you think it comes from them being stacked in storage ?
Like a book or magazine where the outer edge of the pages yellows over time

Even when people say they're selling a mint version, if you look closely at the photos you can see minor dents and creasing on the edges (typically the bottom left and right edges).

Banksy • Soup Cans Poster, by laguy34 on Aug 29, 2020 21:22:08 GMT 1, Mine showed up severely dinged. Tube had a dent. Not even close to being mint. I messaged POW and they essentially said “so sorry, but enjoy”. I was not pleased and let them know. Never heard back from them.
One month later another tube from POW showed up unannounced. In it, a mint soup cans wrapped in brown paper with nary a scratch or ding on it. The best day I had in a long time. 😊
