Banksy Welcome Mat, by pfffffffffft on Feb 14, 2020 17:38:17 GMT 1, In advance of your mat arriving Banksy has shared an important message for all recipients saying “Your mat is a hand made piece of art and should ideally be used for display purposes only. We would advise against walking on it extensively or rubbing dirty boots on it repeatedly. Avoid vacuuming and clean gently using a canister of pressured air.” Each mat has been uniquely hand-made by the women we work with in the refugee camps in Greece. It is individually numbered and specifically labelled as a purchase from Banksy’s Gross Domestic Product store.

They specifically say “ the mat is not eligible for a certificate of authentication.” Unfortunately They also said "unlimited" despite saying from an edition at gdp and now say rare before second set of "500 now and 500 later" was originally put on site.
Again, Banksy probably doesn't want a bunch of hate mail going to a charity, bothering them about something they only want because of the dollar signs associated with the piece blowing up there inbox and social media when they're trying to run a charity for refugees.

Am buzzing that they're numbered - that's more than enough for me, but yea there has been a lot of vagueness and moving goalposts...

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Fuzzyduck121 on Feb 14, 2020 18:14:05 GMT 1, It’s the spirit of it that’s important; but anyone who thinks that it being defined by Banksy as an artwork complete with care instructions and with a GDP label and individually numbered doesn’t affect the value of the piece (which isn’t something we should all care about too much other than to insure it ) is totally nuts
Let’s though try and focus on the fact it’s seems that anyone who bought one has changed lives for the better, it’s an amazing thing.

I will tell the grandkids I had a 1st edition banksy welcome Matt and didn’t need a COA as I had a receipt with my own bloody name on! Wowzers!!
I’ll be telling them that from our 7 story mega mansion! Aka the house that banksy built 😂

Sales of these have been pointless since the beginning.

They're obviously not unlimited if they're numbered
So if the unlimited portion was not true what else is not true?

Basically everything at gdp was misleading on purpose, even down to the print Edition.
I LOVE IT

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Fuzzyduck121 on Feb 14, 2020 18:24:59 GMT 1, There isn’t in existence anything that’s officially numbered that won’t be given a PC cert if it was bought legitimately. I suspect in time the only way to establish these as genuine once the dust has settled will be to authenticate them to the purchasers Can’t wait to see these up and displayed as the message and strength of the piece has always resonated with me out of all the GDP items
