Banksy Welcome Mat, by Deleted on Jan 29, 2023 10:21:06 GMT 1, Its well known within the inner circles that the stitched version was done deliberately to differentiate them for later authentication. Anyone delusional to think otherwise is kidding themselves. You think they just decided after the first 500 that they couldn't be arsed to stitch them anymore? Come on. “Within the inner circles”…..if there is such a thing, we, the members here, ARE the inner circle when it comes to this shit. Can’t be much more interested in and devoted to the urban art community, than many members here; especially when it comes to B. If Banksy loses a pubic hair, it’s brought up and discussed here. If what you stated was true, it would have been discussed here ad nauseam.

Why write "under 50", especially when it clearly reads #82? 
And that's a pretty lazy ebay listing ...

Regardless them representing something cheap (a doormat) is wherein lies the powerful message in this artwork. Also see comments above about supporting refugees and the huge amount raised for a good cause. Maybe then save your “cheap” comments for yourself?

oh come on Seems like a picture really is worth a thousand words! Indeed. The GDP mat looks like it was machine stitched to a specific font/pattern. Whereas the Love Welcomes mats look like they have the stories of those who made them, stitched into each individual piece. |

I agree you can argue some look “better” than others but I really don’t think that makes any of them “cheap and tacky”.
Your comparison is also somewhat unfair since the black strap border is not visible on the bottom image. It is there and can be presented as the above.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by zoomrider on Feb 4, 2023 9:05:55 GMT 1, This is an interesting listing, not just because it’s from Martin Bull, a “Banksy expert”, but also it doesn’t appear to have the “tail” (extended strip of life jacket) on the “E” at the end of “Welcome” like all the other Mats I’ve seen:

That’s a key component of the mats as per the GDP window original |
