Has the signature question ever been answered? Old prints new signature, new prints old signature?

It's ok if you have had bought prints since original release 2004 but I would be a bit anxious with all these unknown vip prints if bought recently

any one would be happy to have a chance to own a print
Anxious part if you paid £60 k on a print knowing there were only 150 then another 88 turn up then may be another unknown edition turns up , as these are not not officially released , endless printers proofs to test these new colours ways could turn up as with the cyw prints , ok if the sums involved were not so much

Those that do will still be peeved if in the future made a 20k loss in the short term , a lot that buy the vip prints are being advised as an investment ! Not the art content
So much can change in the market with a living artist than a deceased one

I don't think anyone holding any GWB image with a COA, regular print, AP or original, is much concerned with taking a loss on their piece, or should they be, especially if they are willing to hold it for a bit. True there is a risk of a negative effect from a living artist no matter how small it may be but I'd take Banksy continuing to make creative, thought provoking, intelligent and meticulously calculated moves for sometime to come.

To have such a microscopic quantity of APs and additional pieces released has only reinforced the values of the earlier pieces. It doesn't take much research to see where the GWB prices have gone since the "newer" APs have surfaced. Can't imagine anyone holding one of these images being anything but elated at the current valuations regardless of when it was purchased. As most have seen that have been here a while, we will always have the usual price complaints and "bubble" theorists, but as each year passes we all look back and think "what a deal that was" and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

As a good friend once told me long ago "Aside from getting caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy, expect his achievements and prices to only movie skyward." 

That said is true to the known aps , but how many more prints and aps are there that the general market do not know of at this time ? Or yet to be released?

I myself would not be floored and can imagine, with ease, this possibly having been done.

My own position is based on different experiences, including having been invited into a storage room years ago. There, among other things, I saw multiple thick stacks of another Banksy image originally released around the same period as Girl with Balloon — at a time when the printing was being done by POW in-house and at leisure. The image had been test-printed in almost every shade under the sun. Some were also in awful murky browns because the relevant screen hadn't been rinsed between colours. 

Probably striking whilst the iron is hot. 

Inflate the price for a standard to 60k then sale all the AP's at half that knowing they will sale stupidly quick and in return a nice few mil for them.

Wouldn't surprise me if they were printed more recent than 2004/5 but probably will
Never know.

there was some grim reaper proof at disma too, I like that one better.

Completely disagree. I think the majority are owned by people on this forum.

 What makes you think that there have been various editions previously? 

I think we will agree to disagree then. You reckon majority owned by the forum, I reckon not 
altthough I'm basing this on the fact that none of the ones I'm aware of or have seen are members here. 

FYI - When something is not released to the general public and in very small numbers, it's not an "official release".  And yes that whopping £3 admission price (free for children) to Dismaland is reason alone to discount all other factors. 

Sold

A few must of been sold post boti, I know somebody who has one of them and he didn't get it from the stall that's for sure.
