Angel Bombers are no where near as appealing as FF. IMO....

the bomber 2 on there at the moment I was going to go for but it apparently has lots of small creases down the sides, and has no provenance. definately not worth it in that state me thinks.

i am still looking for a bomber 2, my number 1 is getting a bit lonely. Has anyone got one for sale?

Thwaites - is provenance that important when they have a POW blindstamp on them?

surely thats pretty hard to fake?

Crikey mate, if people can do fantastic copies of every banknote known to man then copying a blind stamp is Blue Peter stuff, or Red Hand Gang or whatever!

Yeah it wouldn't be the hardest thing in the world but it's a hell of a lot of work for a measely 500. You have to get a really strong copy of the image - so you don't get any moire pattern. Then a really strong quality printer that can print on the same original paper stock. Then you have toget two different blind stamps and fake the signature too. Then it wouldn't be worth it unless you did a bunch. ...but then people are going to start to get suspicious if a load of Angel's hit the bay. Plus the number is clearly stated in the auction. It's not even hidden so that perhaps the real owner couldn't see.

Provenance is most important in original works in my opinon. I don't want to sound gullible, because I would most often error on the side of caution. But the fervor with which people talk about provenance over here is more so than I've ever run into elsewhere. A receipt is really really really good thing to have but common sense will usually tell you the most in my opinon.

Supposedly Hirst's Valium's have been forged. So in the case of something like that there has been a history involved with you should be really careful.

I got beat for this bad boy at the last minute anyhow.
So it goes.
Appreciate all the info on this board, sure makes it easier for a novice to wrap his head around the ins and outs.
Anyone here fancy parting with an angel bomber or
(reaching for the stars) a jday or save my soul(yeah...likely!) for a reasonable sum?
I've got 500-550 pounds(plus insured shipping...ive learned that lesson the hard way..thats how I got here.)
pm me if interested.
thanks

and if i remember correctly, one of the teenage actors was called James Bond III.... class name!

I wonder how long it will be before somebody weakens and buys that pair of angel bombers on ebay for £1400??

Well...as you can see not anymore
It is fantastic print though

What about the JD that has a buy it now for £1099, item number 130126234996. Unthinkable a few weeks ago.

Soupcan poster on its way to you

Stuey that's generous, I was going to offer Beej a Banksy sticker. Now that you've trumped me with your poster, I may have to up the ante.

it is under the last auction price. depends if someone wants it bad enough. I'd be tempted to sell mine via an auction as opposed to a BIN. In fact I might be adding my JD to the mix soon...
