I'll swap it for a Sandra Chevrier sculpture or half a pack of wotsits, whichever you prefer. Just let me know.

Can you provide an affidavit from your mum regarding both provenance and Banksy's identity?

ETA, it is a cool little thing, either way

How much are you expecting for it?

You didn’t pay anything for it...why wouldn’t you keep something quite sentimental and special if legit.

Does your mum know your selling it?

cyanblue if you can tell me what the very prominent feature of Mr B's face is in a DM, il make you a serious offer.

@woof no its not what you'd call a standard feature,, if you'd met him you'd notice it straight away. 

hey, so i couldn't figure out the quoting system on here, so appologies if you dont get notifications (provided this forum supports that)
I'd first like to say that this is 100% genuine, I know you can only take my word on this, so im only looking for genuine advice in how to go about this.


im not sure, i would assume because they mainly deal with prints and other stuff, not something more personal like this.


well i most certainly could, though i feel it would be better to go through other people i know whom are closer to banksy to do that.



well, that does seem like a road of having to contact many people to get done, i feel i certainly could do it. although considering the guy likes his anomanimity it may be a bit of a challange (although thanks for the suggestion, certainly something worth looking into)



I'm honestly not sure, thats why i was looking though getting it authenticated, i would have gotten it appraised as i know little to nothing about selling art, so i would seek the advice of a profesional before anything.



well, as i said, it's more the fact that i know him is more sentimental to me, like this is a peice of card i keep in a safe lockbox, i'm sure a collector would get more value out of it than me.
banksy has actually been a profound influence on my life as an artist. though im only a recent graduate, it's the fact that a dude from bristol has gotten so far that amazes me the most.
if i were to sell this peice the money would get invested completely on progressing my own artistic venture.
in a way, the act of me selling it is kind of like a future gift from banksy that would help me get the tools i would need, so from that perspective I honestly dont feel bad about selling it.
it's kinda like a little boost from the man of mystery himself.
and yes, my mum does know i am interested in looking to sell it.



hate to disappoint but im genuine, first time i've found this forum, first post ever.
i know its hard to separate the trolls from the reals, but what can i say. you can only take me at my word at this point, but if you don't believe me, (im sure many others have claimed something similar in the past) you can take it hypothetically if you like, im just looking for advice.


Phew, i think i've replied to everyone that i felt i needed to. though let me know if you'd like me to reply

sorry dude, but i'm not.
could i ask? say YOU were in my situation, what would you do?

Keep it and be the cool guy or sell it and be an ungrateful c**t?

Nice item. Frame it, keep it!

This post has drama, an origin story, intrigue, and romance ?! Great 1st post lol but sadly, OP, your “Banksy” holds no value. Best of luck trying to convince someone otherwise.

no dude, what im saying is i got it as a gift on my birthday which is the 15th of august, my mum had gotten it previously from Glastonbury that year.
i myself didnt go to there, but knowing my mum was going to be hanging with banksy and friends, i asked her to get me an autograph, i got this.

Your mom is a saint to be thinking about a gift for her adult banksy lovin' son 1 and half months before his birthday while at a party with a world famous artist (3D) and than you...you ungrateful son sell it off on a low rent internet forum.
