Banksy Laugh Now Print, by highinla on Apr 7, 2010 21:28:17 GMT 1, I think to be fair to highinla, if there is ANY doubt at all PC normally ask to see the print n person. However IMO we are not getting the full info here though, I dont understand why PC would have any doubt at all. If you bought direct, are the original purchaser, it is from the numbered run of 150 etc, it should be simple.
The print was purchased from POW Pop Up Shop in NYC many years ago... I am not sure if that means it was purchased directly from POW. Your guess is as good as mine!

thanks for your input... I'm not sure what I would have done without you stating the obvious.

Banksy Laugh Now Print, by highinla on Apr 7, 2010 22:17:42 GMT 1, One good question after another... I don't work for POW, nor have I ever had to deal with sending something in to be authenticated. I have no clue.... But I will tell you, this situation is as unique as the print itself.
Thank god I only started a thread about this print and none of my Banksy originals... cause they too, don't have any paperwork. And guess who I got them directly through?

well seeing as you have both a print and originals that need to be authenticated if they're ever to be sold (or at least realise their true value) then i'd suggest a trip to london with everything you have...that way you can get them all verified at the same time and not have to worry about them getting lost/damaged en route.

Not worried about the originals (2 pieces to be exact), I have no plans to sell them... And if I ever decided to get rid of them, I will deal with POW from that point on.
As far as leaving my door open... Its called home owners insurance.

lucky man, what ones? how about adding more to this forum than just a sales thread and upload a couple of pictures - everyone here is always keen to see other peoples' collections, especially if they contain early banksy works.

Thats very kind of you to say... I will share my collection with you guys soon.
I am new to the these forums. I hesitate about putting up any pictures of my collection because of the major amount of doubt and negativity on these boards. My originals are most certainly Banksy's early works... I acquired them from his very first LA show, back when nobody cared about him (his show was a major fail and a total flop).

I think you are confused about something... I never said I wouldn't deal with POW. I said, I wasn't worried about getting COA's from my OG's because they arent for sale.
Thanks for trying.

Banksy Laugh Now Print, by monkeyart on Apr 7, 2010 23:29:46 GMT 1, But your obviously worried about you print? Its now two pages of nonsense... just fly to London and get a COA and pick up your 8 English K, fly back and enjoy your OGs. Happy days, if not sell it for 2K plus (or what ever mug has offered you more and run) Good luck!

Banksy Laugh Now Print, by boaty on Apr 8, 2010 0:07:37 GMT 1, Why do you have to take it to POW? Just go to Pest Control on line, send them photos of print, signature & number, give them the prints history, tell them who's name its registered in, pay them ยฃ50 and wait for them to confirm the authenticity!
it's even cheaper upfront than that PUD - all you have to do is complete the online form - once they have authenticated it and informed you - if you want a COA (assumming it is authentic) then you have to pay the 50.
I've purchased an early Banksy from a forum member recently; went through the POW/PC process and within a matter of days it was authenticated and my COA was in hand.
So this whole thread is quite odd....

Banksy Laugh Now Print, by Andy'77 on Apr 8, 2010 9:41:43 GMT 1, I've had two prints that pest control needed to see prior to issuing a COA (although never actually got the COA's in the end as it was just for peace of mind), but that was because they had either been originally purchased from a shop or the original purchaser info had been lost along the way.

Banksy Laugh Now Print, by schlomo on Apr 8, 2010 10:17:21 GMT 1, When i tried to get COA's for some of my unsigned prints i had to take them in to POW and let Dora see them in the flesh. I had all the info on owners, took loads of pics etc. Sometimes pics arent good enough and they do need to see them in the flesh before issuing the COA. This is a good thing, especially for the more valuable prints such as this one.
I am struggling to see the number on yours tho mate, can i ask where is it numbered? I've not seen a signed Laugh now in the flesh so dont know if its the same place as the unsigned or not.... could you snap a pic of the number and the sig and post it up maybe? i'm sure it'd help, and would stop the messages asking if its numbered.....

Banksy Laugh Now Print, by howlinjack on Apr 8, 2010 15:52:24 GMT 1, laugh now is one of the few prints that pest control want to see in the flesh. they won't accept photos for this one. i believe the reason is there are quite a few fake LNs out there and they check the paper stock as well as sig and numbering. i had to send mine in. no exception. hope this helps.

You're not alone my little cyber friend
I've been told that the artist is busy promoting some sort of film at the moment so I think we're on hold until all the "huh-hah" has died down.
I'm going to wait until 8 months have passed and then I'm breaking in to PC and liberating my print. Wanna' tag along...?

Banksy Laugh Now Print, by monkeyart on Apr 8, 2010 21:40:27 GMT 1, The only reasons I've ever had to take my prints in are because there was some confusion when they swapped from their written documentary to digital and things got keyed in incorrectly. Mad to think of that happening now! Nothing has ever come up with regards copies but thats just my experience!

Banksy Laugh Now Print, by monkeyart on Apr 8, 2010 22:14:10 GMT 1, POW are very helpful, as I think they didn't realise the popularity! Still not sure why you need to send it in, have they confused your number against your name or the original owners name? They have a big database now with each print against previous and now existing owners, along with who sells what on the bay! Not sure why they hold onto your prints for months that doesn't sound right to me... anyway good luck.

Banksy Laugh Now Print, by ninorc on May 20, 2010 14:12:14 GMT 1, Mmm... you can't really see the cheap plastic frame from IKEA in this shot. The print itself is a proof copy, i.e.: not signed or numbered, that came via the leaseholders of the premises where Santa's Ghetto was held, in 2003. As such, it can't be verified, but I am open to offers...
