I unfortunately agree with all of you.

It also came with a framed version of the trolly hunters.

Better paper. Also garbage frame.

But the image after research is centered on the paper and not in the bottom 3rd like all the editions

No water mark or impression on it either.

Why haven’t you sent it to Pest Control?
Good attempt at a fake signature but you forgot about the numbering which is terrible - also the signature looks bigger than the image? Is it a rubber stamp? 

The Placard rats and Monkey Queen and a few other prints from around 2004-5 were signed in this style but I can say with some degree of certainty there wasn’t an edition of this size published at that time. There would be multiple owners on this Forum and auction records by now for sure. 

Another Banksy stencil on eBay. Last one from this seller sold for just under US3k. Everything points to this being a bootleg; no information about how these were received; no information about the seller themselves.  Obviously some folks really think these are legit. What am I missing?

oh come on, both of you

such blatant thieving

I've not seen a grenade canvas but I have seen them on squares of painted plywood that are genuine.

Whether or not it's genuine becomes almost irrelevant. Even if you strongly believed it to be genuine, you would never know for sure, it would never be authenticated and it would never have any value except to a naïve buyer. 

In summary, it's a waste of money. 

Avoid / Marry / Snog....Choose one

Tip: Don't marry or get off with this dirty slag.

This is an open composition which I like, but I agree that you'd need a photo match to even begin to get exited about.

I think we can all agree this Sign is not legit. (Sorry OP)

However, I’m going to hijack this post and ask a question if my own..

In 2011 I took a photo of this and posted it to my Insta (p.b.o.a.z) .. I questioned its authenticity then.. But now half midnight in a Monday evening ( half pissed on a train ride home after a night out) I’d thought I’d reach out and see if anyone recalls of any legit Banksy's from Birmingham (excluding the reindeer).

The reason I questioned its authenticity originally is because Would we think a Banksy tag would crack and peal like this once it’s aged… ( to me it would suggest something been peeled away after being over painted) or would it just be buffed over and not leave a mark?



I’m pretty pissed and this is from my Instagram from easily 13 years ago so happy to be wrong. (I’d like to think with my years of collecting, following and documenting I’m usually a good judge of fake and non fake)

Looks like a sticker. Paint is the same color on both sides.

It was many years ago now, theres a thread on here somewhere. That said, it was a long time ago, so you could be right. 

Hello

I know that it is impossible to verify if this genuine or not, however are people able to give an opinion as to any tell tale signs?
