What is the size of this business card?

Wonderfully depressing

And Stormbreaker, to respond to your earlier question, the auction that I posted had nothing to do with me; I did not organize it nor did/do profit from it in any way. 

Unlike this sale which you clearly have a vested interest in.

And the issue now is clearly larger than just the "card" you're selling. I'm questioning your integrity as a seller on this forum. Please do not bully me or other members on this forum when you don't like the question asked.

Also, what if an unsuspecting member buys your art (believing it to be real), then sells it on? And then this member gets contacted by the police for selling a fake? Would you then voluntarily fly in from England to take the blame?

I'm not saying that yours is a authentic or fake (as there is absolutely no evidence either way.

What I'm saying is that we have a RESPONSIBILITY to the things we say or sell.

Je ne comprends pas. I don't get it.

Shouldn't it be the other way round? I mean at least you can get your money back if a fake is being sold on ebay? So there would be MORE buyers protection on ebay than here.

Is my forum broken?
How is it that the last 7 of 8 posts on this thread are from the same guy with 28 total posts. He must be replying to someone right? Not just talking to himself?

So my point is, the number of posts or the number of years a member had been in this forum is irrelevant. We should be more welcoming to members irrespective of the number of their posts.

Which ironically is exactly why Stormbreaker busted my balls with my posts (he dismissed me because I had less posts than him).

First, I apologize that this thread is making your "eyeballs bleed." Perhaps you might consider not clicking in, as there are probably other posts more to your liking.

Respectfully, I think you might be missing the point. The point is that I find it troubling that there are individuals who think that they need not prove the authenticity of the works they sell just because it's priced cheaply. I am also rather concerned that members are also turning a "blind eye" to this phenomenon; this can't be healthy for the ethos of the community and a whole.

Having said that, I should note that this $75 banksy post has garnered over 600 views in the space of 2 days, so perhaps I might have raised something of interest/importance to other members of this forum. Especially since members attract criminal liability for buying fakes unknowingly (thinking it is a good deal) and then flipping it on to 3rd parties.

Last, does anybody have anything constructive to say? I would be grateful if someone with some legal knowledge can share their thoughts on the matter?

20+ posts about authenticity of £75 business card from a pop up shop that closed 13 years ago! Think we are scraping the barrel here guys

I think that all goes to the mystique that Banksy has... As well as the self-imposed myopia (and possible scammers who are willing to take advantage of it)...

Why can't we simply enjoy Banky's works without attaching a dollar sign to it?

It’s highly unlikely it’s a fake dude, it’s pretty clear from the abundance of pictures of these that this one has all the same characteristics, you can see the deckling on the paper and the consistency of colour and printing. If you have specific knowledge of this being a fake or can highlight a particular give away then I’m sure everyone would love hear it, otherwise your harming someone’s reputation without any reliable evidence. 

Obviously with any from of ephemera you will never get cast iron provenance especially freebies as there’s not even going to be a receipt so I question the logic of spending money on things like this but that’s a whole other debate. 

dude, relax. move on.
