Backdoor Banksy Prints, by Rude Copper on Feb 3, 2008 14:39:53 GMT 1, in a way, by todays standards, its almost commendable for someone to buy one of these, in the full knowledge that what they are buying will not accumalte any value, because, in essence, they are buying it for the love of the image. Bollocks. If your buying for the love of the image, save yourself a couple of hundred quid and print one out, if you want to own a banksy save up and buy a real one ......
from the run, overrun, laser jet, whatever
the fact is the prints are out there, if pow were that bothered, why did'nt they start buying them up to get them of the market?
it was their fault that they existed in the 1st place, you seem to think that there was an evil greedy printer at the root of it all, bullshit, he was being asked to print posters that were retailing at £30 quid, do you really think he had the foresight?,

Don't mix in laser jets into back door prints! All "real" BDP:s should be screened on the same paper with the same frame and colour as the real ones.
POW may have printed extra to send out to shops etc, but their earlier printers seems to have printed even more extra to sell themselves, without POWS knowledge. This was after POW started printing themselves and then Banksy was worth a lot more than £30, but not anywhere near what they sell for today. Definitely worth it for the printers, though.
POW buying them up from the market is as stupid as sabotaging auctions. The only thing that will happen is that the vaule goes up even more.

Backdoor Banksy Prints, by foundation on Feb 3, 2008 15:16:30 GMT 1, Bollocks. If your buying for the love of the image, save yourself a couple of hundred quid and print one out, if you want to own a banksy save up and buy a real one ...... from the run, overrun, laser jet, whatever the fact is the prints are out there, if pow were that bothered, why did'nt they start buying them up to get them of the market? it was their fault that they existed in the 1st place, you seem to think that there was an evil greedy printer at the root of it all, bulls**t, he was being asked to print posters that were retailing at £30 quid, do you really think he had the foresight?, 
As you say POW were selling them for £30, why would they give so many away? As the ammount of backdoor prints out there greatly outnumbers the potential few that were given out as promotional items. To believe that the majority of backdoor prints came from POW is naive.

Backdoor Banksy Prints, by Rude Copper on Feb 3, 2008 18:47:52 GMT 1, he must of had the foresight!?!, oh, well that explains it then.
the origin of the prints is immaterial, the fact is they are in circulation & are unlikely to go away.
i've never thought it much more than asking the printer to print extras in case of problem, & when they set up there own print shop forgetting to ask for the surplus, a mistake,
yeh, pow are the good guys, but if you think they were beyond making an oversight in their early days, then yes, you're right, you're naive.

Backdoor Banksy Prints, by Rude Copper on Feb 3, 2008 19:37:01 GMT 1, no, neither do i intend getting any, however that does'nt stop me empathising with people who cant afford to buy the real mckoy, perhaps you should try it.
i f the existence of these prints are so detrimental to the integrity of pow, & the source of the prints so clear cut, why did'nt pow just call the rozzers & have done with it?, dont you think theres a bit more to it than that?
you are however right, i'm sick of reading the same boring diatribe about these prints.

Backdoor Banksy Prints, by foundation on Feb 3, 2008 19:48:07 GMT 1, Funnily enough, its empathising with people who cant afford the real Mckoy that is is one of the driving factors here, with sellers trying to convince buyers that backdoor prints are genuine banksy prints and worth £250-500 ( the value you gave earlier for the theoretical laugh now). With no provenance and checkable history thats alot of money to spend on faith....

Backdoor Banksy Prints, by Rude Copper on Feb 3, 2008 20:06:26 GMT 1, yeah, but its not as much as £1500, and thats the point.
another point you may want to consider is something someone else touched on ealier.
what is the difference between a numbered print with no provenance, & an overun?

Newer prints are stamped with the numbering process which in itself is an initial piece of provenance, older prints ( pre-stamp), depend more on provenance, there is usually some sort of checkable history with prints as you know ( where it was originally bought, original buyer etc...). Finding a print with absolutely NO provenance would be quite tricky as even the handwriting used on the numbering is checkable by the right people. But supposing you did find a print with no provenance / history, it would be down to the individual to make that call themselves.
If you were offered 2 laugh nows, one numbered and one blank backdoor, both for the same price, which would you choose?

Yup that was touched on and its a potential problem as backdoor prints could quite easily have a number and sold on as genuine ( but nothing we should worry about eh? as backdoor prints are great.......).

Backdoor Banksy Prints, by Rude Copper on Feb 3, 2008 21:11:41 GMT 1, backdoor prints are great?, no backdoor prints are out there, so don't just ignore them, thats been the point all along.
yes,i know about stamping,
the handwriting is checkable?, by who?, this is rubbish.
happily, i have a laugh now, its signed, so no quarrel with provenance.however, for the purpose of the discussion, i would check the trail to sse if it could be established, & if not, who's to say that the numbered print is'nt a doctored overun?

The hand writing is checkable, for older prints there was only a few folk writing the numbers but mainly 2 individuals ( if you think I'm bullsh1tting, get in touch with POW yourself).

Not really sure what your trying to ask here, as of course you would check any prov or trail ( although in your example you did state that it had no prov or trail ), and if a print had dodgy prov you wouldnt buy be it a doctored backdoor print or not.

Are these the prints that caused a stir last year that had been sold by POW employees?

Backdoor Banksy Prints, by jynormous on Feb 13, 2008 11:04:31 GMT 1, Hey guys and gurls, just a quick question for you all.
A fellow wormate has 3 Banksy prints that are unnumbered and unsigned. He did take them down to POW and they said that they were genuine prints, made before they started doing Banksy work.
I have done a bit of reading and it looks as though there are unsigned unnumbered images out there (golf sale, turf war, monkey queen, etc)
Here comes the question.....how much do you all think they are worth? He thinks that buy putting them on ebay, he will be able to sell them from £200 each. I on the other hand, told him he is dreaming!
Because they are "backdoor" prints, they are worthless. It would be the same as if i printed them myself and tried to sell them.
Do people agree with me? How much do you think they are worth?
Thanks everyone.
Jy.

BONGO DOES NOT WANT TO GET INTO THE SEMANTICS OF THE DISCUSSION, AS IT PROVOKES IRE FAR IN EXCESS OF THE ISSUE, BUT BONGO CAN CONFIRM THAT THEY WERE IDENTICAL IN EVERY DETAIL APART FROM HAND NUMBERING
BONGO THINKS THAT THE MARKET IS RIPE ENOUGHT FOR PEOPLE TO ABUSE SUCH PRINTS AND DEFRAUD BUYERS, BUT BONGO ALSO KNOWS THAT IF THE IMAGE ALONE IS WHAT YOU TREASURE, THEN THESE ARE AN ENTRY POINT FOR A COLLECTOR
BONGO THINKS THESE ARE EXCEPTIONAL IMAGES
BONGO DOES NOT WANT TO GET INTO DISCUSSIONS OF VALUE, AS WE ALL KNOW THAT VALUE IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PAY, BUT BONGO WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOUR FRIEND IS BEING RATHER CONSERVATIVE - ESPECIALLY IF HE IS HONEST ABOUT THE PRINTS ORIGIN IN THE LISTING
BONGO WOULD CONSIDER THEM AT £100, IF ONLY FOR DECORATION

I just wanted to get peoples thoughts on the matter, thats all.
I too agree that they are for the walls only and not for the archive.
Seams like it is a touchy subject with people so i think its best if we put it to bed.

It seams like whenever you try to get some information out of people on here, they automatically think your trying to sell them something.

Backdoor Banksy Prints, by jonpud on Feb 13, 2008 16:06:10 GMT 1, This topic has been brought up before, I have no real problem with the fact that Banksy signed and gave out a limited amount of un-numbered prints to friends and as thank-you's to others, after all the likes of Wahol did the same and no doubt so does every other artist! But I have a serious worry about Unsigned/Unnumbered prints in circulation. These can easily have a number added and suddenly become worth thousands! As the last guy did so the same should happen here, they need test print written accross the back of them!!
Buyers beware, ALWAYS get provenance otherwise one of these could end up on your wall and always be declared a 'fake' as the name does not match the registered purchaser!!!!!

They are real prints, that much the forum member has pointed out. Still worth buying or collecting as they are the real deal. Just because its not numbered does not mean its worth less. Mark my words.. these prints along with the numbered one's will be fetching stupid money from this moment on. As long as POW have said they are real then thats enough for me and a lot of others. By the way, bonhams are only taking signed Banksy's from now on... ;D
i would quite happily buy an unnumbered print if your mate could get written confirmation from pow. They are real prints, that much the forum member has pointed out. Still worth buying or collecting as they are the real deal. Just because its not numbered does not mean its worth less.

no chance of that happening, these were extra prints that were made by the printers at the time, without the consent of POW.
