Banksy โข Girl With Red Balloon Print, by Dr Plip on Jan 26, 2015 11:32:14 GMT 1, We used to have customers that would buy comics, bagged and boarded, never read them and just put them into storage. I remember one guy that had every single issue of The Amazing Spider-Man, and would buy the latest from us, but told us he hadn't read an issue for about 10 years.
Others would always buy two copies. One to read, one to "keep".
The collector mentality can be strong. Especially when it comes to variants or misprints.
Edit: By the way, if anyone on here has any "scribbled on" Banksy prints or funky test prints, and fancies rubbing them in my face, I'd love to see them. I can't buy them of course, but I love stuff like that. Feel free to pm me. Confidentiality assured.

I say work, you can't really work in a comic shop. And it's more like social work. Loved it though. Plus I have a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career...........of bagging comics. |

Banksy โข Girl With Red Balloon Print, by Deleted on Jan 30, 2015 12:06:34 GMT 1, Just a quick heads up that Banksy print "GIRL WITH BALLOON" unsigned number 289 has been lost/stolen. Pest have been informed. COA will never be issued for this number so if you hear of it for sale at somepoint in the future, let me know and you'll be handsomely rewarded !
cheers
Nu
After much secret squirreling, some ip address hacking, some gangster'ish planning and help from a couple of members on here, I was able to track the stolen GWB to an address in London where it was ceremoniously retrieved without having to recourse to the aid of the police, lawyers or other such nonsense.
Thanks chaps, you know who you are.

It sounds like there's a good story there. Can you tell us the story? Some stories are best left not written on a public Internet forum.... I understand that some name-changing, fact-glossing and detail-skipping might be necessary. I just like detective stories, and happy endings. And, more than anything, detective stories with happy endings. |

Did the guilty party get caught in a mouser trap? Nothing to do with me, just not something that needs to be discussed here. Print returned to rightful owner, how that happened is best left undisclosed as who know when the same process may be needed, the less info the bad folk have at hand regarding resources etc, the better it is for those trying to sort out issues. good work to those who assisted Nu. |

So, just to be clear....... You lot can't get your heads around the suggestion that there are 'HIDDEN' cryptic messages (Davinci style) within some of Banksy's art?
Mark my words....... THIS WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU!!!
