Banksy Paris Hilton CD, by quinn on Oct 9, 2024 15:10:27 GMT 1, Was a grail piece for me but was always put off because of provenance. Finally bought one from Laz years ago was the only way in my mind of it being legit. Plenty of other ways to be assured it's legit but you have to put a bit of extra work into it. As for how (bullet proof) "legit" some of the (Banksy) items (posters, etc...) have been in the past with Laz, you'd be surprised by some of the (horrible) stories I've heard ! ;-)

Has Laz been considered in the past to sell fake items? |

I still believe you made the right call as people who are not super informed (most wouldn't) certainly will take a "COA" issued by SL same as a COA issued by Banksy's Team themselves (which they won't for that CD), but to MY eyes it would be (close to) worthless because of the stories I've heard of (which I won't share openly here but happy to tell you a bit more by DM) |
