Banksy Black Spray Can, Gross Domestic Product™, by irl1 on Mar 10, 2021 1:07:47 GMT 1, Can again had obvious signs of being fake. Not sure on what paper trail it had, but from memory not sure it had it all. emails or similar from gdp and some paperwork? Can not remember thread fully to pull it up. Probably more genuine pics posted on that thread to compare?

Banksy Black Spray Can, Gross Domestic Product™, by jluhiex on Mar 10, 2021 1:09:21 GMT 1, Most likely real but anything is possible. There are fake Warhol's that even the Warhol foundation authenticated and ultimately brought them to their demise. Bank statements can be doctored, tags can be faked, receipts forged. At these prices everyone should do the proper DD.
If OP can provide a live video with prospective buyer of him logging in to his bank and showing the line item charge from GDP it could put buyer's mind at ease.

Banksy Black Spray Can, Gross Domestic Product™, by tab1 on Mar 10, 2021 1:10:01 GMT 1, If that is the case, a mad rush of authentication of gdp posters will ensue😬 They sent me that email in August 2020 for sure, I don't bullshit and I still have it.
2022 for an uplift in the print market then.
Surprised have not seen more sales ends v2s coming to the market considering markets highs now

Given the condition these are in and signed, smart people will hold these

Every auction house in the World was fooled at some stage, from Sotheby's to the smallest, take that on board when your buying private

Banksy Black Spray Can, Gross Domestic Product™, by irl1 on Mar 10, 2021 1:28:24 GMT 1, Given the condition these are in and signed, smart people will hold these Based on you email, these cans are not a genuine work by Banksy by a work originally created by Banksy and executed by someone else? Similar to the welcome mat?
It was not enough information to call it, but they did say all genuine work by Banksy would get a COA.
What they ment by this I don't know, as they knew I was emailing about GDP pieces

Banksy Black Spray Can, Gross Domestic Product™, by Wendero on Mar 10, 2021 9:07:00 GMT 1, Was there not a gallery that bought a fake can on eBay with a paper trail discussed here few months back ? Yes it's on here somewhere. The reply I had back from P.C about the can & clock in Deco Days Gone By was very strange. They say ...... All genuine work by Banksy would received a COA.Does this mean they are changing things and issuing a COA for all GDP pieces.

Banksy Black Spray Can, Gross Domestic Product™, by Wendero on Mar 10, 2021 9:14:41 GMT 1, Here are some pictures of the spray cans in the window at GDP and close ups of signatures on the GDP website    And the OPs for ease of comparison 
with close up signatures, GDP first OP 2nd  
I leave members to come to their own conclusions, but from my point of view on closer inspection I wouldn’t swap a WCP for THIS can.
Some are painted by brush, others sprayed ... whoever understands something, not only about art, but also about paint will understand ....
I have nothing to show to anyone, I am an honest person and I have all the documentation to prove that my Can is authentic .... I have no time to waste being a scammer .....
I was scammed for £ 2000 ago a subject from Wales and thanks to the wonderful people I found on this Forum I will be able to get my money back ONLY 2 days!
I promised gentleman that he made me get my money back a reward, but he refused ... great man ....
BUT I must say that on the same Forum I also found many assholes ... jealous people ... jealous of what? Maybe one of these in his house has at least 2/3 signed Banksy prints .... pssss
Oh well it's part of the game ... the world is varied
Have a nice day !

I have no idea if it's real or fake, but using the image from the GDP website or the ones in the window at the show don't necessarily reflect to finished delivered items.
Take the welcome mat for example, the final ones are quite different to the pictures and one in the window, only the concept remains true to the concept.

Stupid comparison. The mats were hand made by different people. The hand of Banksy should still be seen in the signature even if he decided to use different paint pens while signing the cans. The person who wrote this Banksy signature is no graffiti writer. It's all wrong.

It's very simple, if you get a genuine buyer let them send pictures of the paperwork and can to PC, they will confirm if it's real.
Your only problem is will they use your paperwork for a fake can.
Trying to do this in the middle of covid won't be easy unless you find someone living near you.

Get a good auction house and let them send the pictures to PC. If everything is okay and your happy with the reserve/estimate, then your good to go

Hi x,
Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately there is not enough evidence to give our opinion on the works you have sent to us.
Gross Domestic Product is a subsidiary of Pest Control Office, so it’s a peculiar comment for them to make.
All genuine work by Banksy would received a COA.
Kind regards,
--------------------
By saying
"Unfortunately there is not enough evidence to give our opinion on the works you have sent to us", I would imagine if I sent more pictures and the name of the person who won it, they might be able to check the details.
There was plenty of GDP items sold, maybe someone on here had one checked with PC before buying

Thanks.
Not sure if they would
I guess a definitive way to answer this would be the OP asking a family member or close friend to act like they were looking to buy the can and see what reply they get from PC?

Banksy Black Spray Can, Gross Domestic Product™, by Charlie Bronson on Mar 10, 2021 15:51:38 GMT 1, From the first batch onward, the mats are quite different from the ones in the window; not just the final ones. I’ve yet to see a single mat that looks like the one from the GDP site. I'm starting to think the spray cans were 10 pounds for a reason and aren't signed by Banksy.
Good point. At 10 pounds a can, your theory makes sense tbh. Would be great to get some clarification from GDP/Pest. Fwiw, I wouldn’t favor a can over a print, signed or unsigned.

I wouldn't favor a can over a print if i was buying on secondary. But straight from GDP to my grubby hands, with ironclad provenance? I'll take the can. This is assuming i'm holding the can indefinitely...I'd hate to have to establish provenance if I were to sell it.

Banksy Black Spray Can, Gross Domestic Product™, by The Rat King on Mar 12, 2021 11:47:18 GMT 1, Is this item used by banksy ie is it a real empty can or a dummy ? Just think it would be so cool if it was actually used by the god himself
