Banksy's on eBay • Real or Fake?, by phlood on Aug 30, 2020 15:34:44 GMT 1, I’ve seen these before and always wondered how legit they were. Are they just reprints for the museum or are they officially tied to Banksy? I might have this wrong but I seem to remember that the Moco exhibition wasn't anything to do with Mr. B so these aren't either. A bit of searching suggests I've remembered that right. They have a decent collection of his work on permanent display and knock out their own copies for their gift shop.
Thanks for the reply. This was the impression I had as well but wasn’t 100% sure. I’ve been an admirer of Banksy from a far for quite a while and would finally like to get into the collecting game (though of course I waited until prices are skyrocketing).
I’d like to start out with some of the more reasonable associated works (looking for Forgive Us, Petrol Bomb, Soup Cans, things like that) and have seen pieces like the skateboard and always steered clear.

Banksy's on eBay • Real or Fake?, by jrausis on Sept 1, 2020 14:19:32 GMT 1, Should we consider buying these Welcome Mats?
They'll soon be REALLY rare and I have the feeling they are cheap AF right now.

You're best going on the waiting list - I don't imagine they'll stop producing them any time soon as it's raising much needed funds for the charity. Plus this way the money is going to support a great cause, not line someone's pockets. www.lovewelcomes.org/products/banksy-welcome-mat |

Yeah but how many have been made yet? 50? 100?
They are unique, and they are made in very limited quantity.
I really think they are really cheap and are a good buy; I'll probably buy one around $1000 and frame it.

I agree, they're a very good buy, but buy from the source and save some money, or better still buy from source and donate the extra money you're willing to spend to Love Welcomes or to mvlouisemichel.org/
If you're looking to frame it there are some great examples on this thread a member kindly set up urbanartassociation.com/thread/165434/examples-framed-welcome-mats-reference

Banksy's on eBay • Real or Fake?, by rusty66 on Sept 5, 2020 5:09:01 GMT 1, Banksy Di-Faced Tenner (real or not)
Found this one on the bay, the description and pictures shows us a typical BNG (N.Y.) Tenner but the seller claims, it was "professionally framed in London" (probably there`s a "London" next to New York ?  ).
And - there`s no picture of the complete Tenners back (interesting, because there should be a hologram too and a preferably undamaged sealing/tape.) But the envelope of the Laz letter looks legit and like the BNG Tenners envelope.
Any thoughts?
real BNG Tenner?

(What do you think, why THIS Tenner is unsold until now?)

Banksy's on eBay • Real or Fake?, by hnkpnk on Sept 15, 2020 10:56:05 GMT 1, Unless they changed the door hangers during the short period these were available these are fakes.
My original is paper thin (a thick paper that is) and these seem like they are photocopies glued onto foamboard and then hand cut.
The layout also differs from mine.
Edit: the "foam" one is too thick compared to mine, but the other looks better. The layout of both differs from mine though.
Edit 2: these may be genuine, see below.

I have one of these given to me by housekeeping at the hotel and it’s fine card stuck to foam very much like one in the listing above.

So these are probably not fakes. (Unless you are the seller ).

Banksy's on eBay • Real or Fake?, by jp226 on Sept 16, 2020 0:49:17 GMT 1, This is looking sketchy --- lots of detailing missing. Not to mention, they don't show a photo of the back.

update: was given photos of the back and its smooth as a smooth can be.
