Stop and Search vs. HAND,WSM, BME etc, by fourputt on Feb 13, 2008 17:27:43 GMT 1, I am thinking of expanding my collection by 1 print. Seeing as how the price of a SAS is comparable to an unsigned, early Banksy, which way should I go? The SAS is signed, which is a big plus. But I am leaning toward the older, unsigned prints, as I think they will hold value and be more desirable down the road. What would you do in my shoes? Is the signature worth more than the scarcity of anything from pre-2004? Thanks

EDIT: But I wouldn't sell my signed S&S to get one!!

BONGO DOES NOT THINK S&S WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME. IT IS A WEAK PIECE.
EARLIER PRINTS ARE ALREADY RECOGNISABLE AS BANKSY TO MOST PEOPLE AND THAT WILL DETERMINE FUTURE WORTH
BONGO DOES NOT FAVOUR THE SIZE AND LAYOUT OF THE WSM BME RANGE AFTER EXPERIENCE WITH HAND , BUT THIS DOES NOT AFFECT BONGO APPRECIATION OF THE SIMPLCITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE IMAGE
BONGO WOULD ALWAYS GO FOR PRE LA RUN - APART FROM TROLLEYS - GIVEN A CHOICE

I wish I had bought a BME a while back when there were more available and better priced. I do however have a WSM so its not all bad ;D

Stop and Search vs. HAND,WSM, BME etc, by darjeeling on Feb 14, 2008 2:18:24 GMT 1, I don't like HAND at all myself - just not that witty and maybe because I'm a Yank I don't really 'get' WSM or BME. They're actually I think my 3 least favorite prints.
I think Bango is dead wrong - S&S is classic Banksy and a serious grower, definitely among the more unique Banksy works, plus there's less of them than most other Banksy's. I know they ain't going for all that much at the moment but once the flipping and trading dries up they will creep upward, wouldn't let mine go for less than ยฃ4k but I don't have any plans to sell. I think it looks perfect in this header:
www.filthymodernart.com/artists/banksy
There are maybe a couple unsigned prints I'd shell out the cash for before a S&S but those ain't the ones in my opinion. Plus if you have the S&S in your name at POW it's kind of nice.

i for one would prefer a good image from a smaller run than the bragging rights of a signed banksy
