s & s or barcode, by Heavyconsumer on Oct 26, 2008 22:48:20 GMT 1, I love the Barcode, so if I were dropping the cash that's where it would go. However, I definitly don't think it's the better move financially in the long term. I guess it just boils down to your values, priorities and how substantial a ยฃ2000 layout is to you personally. Good luck deciding. It's a nice problem to have!

s & s or barcode, by leumasdarnley on Oct 26, 2008 22:55:57 GMT 1, Barcode is a classic image but over priced u/s IMO I would get a signed trolley colour rather than S & S if I had 2k. Edition # etc Trolley is much more reflective of Banksy's work than S & S.

s & s or barcode, by poppy on Oct 26, 2008 22:59:06 GMT 1, its a simple one colour stencil (bit blurry in places) i have never seen a nice framed one no offence to any one please dont list pic after pic of your barcodes its my opinion and im sticking to it. stop and search is not gonna be worth as much in the long run although a slightly nicer image but if your buying banksy get signed unsigned not worth the paper its on (my opinion again)

Stop and Search is much more reflective of Banksy's street work. He's done several stop and search pieces on the street.....police officer and girl with teddy...plus the ones he did on the wall near Bethlehem....with the mule and the soldier......Stop and Search was released during Santa's Ghetto where Banksy was making a statement on the security-minded time we are in....S&S is therefore much stronger of a print than Trolleys. Besides, as has been mentioned on these forums before, there are 1428++ prints with the Trolleys on it. Compare that to 500 for S&S, it is a no-brainer.

s & s or barcode, by Richard on Oct 27, 2008 9:45:14 GMT 1, The thumb problem would really bug me with S&S. IMO Trolleys is more reflective of B's work than S&S and although it is a larger edition when you take into account all the various forms it comes in I would still rather have that on my wall. At the moment in time though I would be tempted to buy an older unsigned print like Laugh Now or LIITA....or Queen Vic if I didn't have one already - some great bargains to be had! ;D
