Banksy • Barcode Print, by Michael Jacob on Aug 5, 2011 14:16:19 GMT 1, It hurts the value, but I would still buy it. Its tough to say what its worth other than the old saying "its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it." Having said that, I would estimate 400-500 Pounds. I also agree with above posts on looking into paper conservators. They can do some great stuff. I have a BME what was repaired and they did a great job. Strike a deal and enjoy! If not, PM me and Ill haggle with them.

But obviously its only worth what someone is willing to pay & only available at what the owner is willing to accept. Thanks I will send the owner the resto link
Interested though ... WHAT WOULD YOU PAY ?

Yeah, more likely framed with standard glass and hung in direct sunlight (UV damage). The areas where the matting was looks to be the only parts of the print that have been protected.

Banksy • Barcode Print, by craigf on Aug 5, 2011 14:22:45 GMT 1, It won't work for some, might for others. I bought a slightly damaged print that had been mounted due to creases, price was circa 20% below market at the time. You couldn't see the problem when on the wall and it doesn't bother me as I knew in advance what I was buying. I guess similar for this with a mount other than it is a different colour to it was originally. There will be others on here who will have a better view than me re restoration options

Banksy • Barcode Print, by rperry on Aug 5, 2011 14:23:34 GMT 1, It's hard to tell from the image provided. That print looks like the paper aged with light, etc. but the acid free mount protected edges. (were they using cheap paer for those in '03?)
It seems to me you can get the paper bleached, but the complication may be the banksy tag. Is that a rubber stamp? Or obvious solution is that if you purchase it, you are forced to mount it the same way.
If you don't want it I'll talk with the seller

If the seller is offering it cheap I would 100% buy that! easily repairable and would still look great in a new frame.
You RARELY see these badboys anymore!
Wonder if PC woud be funny about authenticating?

Banksy • Barcode Print, by daveart on Aug 5, 2011 15:22:36 GMT 1, 2cents. i have a bar code and was surprised when i received it .. the paper is actually a light cream color .. definitely not a white white if that makes sense. I would really want to know if the main image had faded or there was something around the edges that damaged it. ie. whats damaged. the border or the main print.
it might be impossible to tell without another pristine print sitting next to it to find the true paper color. or.. my suggestion.. turn it over and look at the back. that should have the original paper color evenly across.
anyway, i'll put in with the group that sees that long term this print still has value... i think Jean P was selling one recently around 2,000 GBP .. so maybe less than half that to allow for damage and preservation costs?

Mount clearly protected the border but the main image suffered the UV hit! would be interesting to know if it can be restored and what the cost would be

PS.I've had quite a few beers the misses is in London ( live on the south coast ) so I can argue all night. Cheers.

I'd bet 1,500GBP that someone will pay at least that much.

Banksy • Barcode Print, by Rolex on Aug 5, 2011 21:33:26 GMT 1, It's funny you say £1200, that's the figure I would value it, hence why I think it will go for circa £1500, I had a similar debate on a trimmed signed Girl With Balloon the other day , he thought it was only worth £3k as a piece of wall art , I think someone would pay at least half if not more of going rate £12 / £15k.

Banksy • Barcode Print, by Warm Gun on Aug 5, 2011 21:42:50 GMT 1, There was a trimmed unsigned GWB on ebay last year, it had about 7.5cm cut from it's height, I think it went for about £700......well under the cost of a full size one.
Can UV damage really be fixed? my mind can not comprehend this. I suspect it's hidden by colour matching the whiter parts rather than taken out (sounds impossible to me)
I'd just trim the 5mm or so of,no one would ever notice!
