Banksy BH paper stock information., by Deleted on May 16, 2012 3:32:02 GMT 1, Hello--
Recently got my first Banksy...unsigned Bomb Hugger / Bomb Love. (fcking YAY!) Lovely piece, came with PC COA.
It came rolled lengthwise in a tube and seems it had been rolled for some time--asked seller a lot of questions but did not ask if it had been stored flat. Live and Rage and Learn. BH stayed tube-shaped after unwrapped the tissue paper and expanded to only slightly larger diameter.
Got me thinking and wondering: that paper stock is mighty thick. Thicker than I had expected. Thicker, sturdier & heavier than Beejoir LV Child, LAZ ZEVS prints, LAZ Invaders. Took much care and even weighting to get her flat, and may have to stay under press for a while to get framable.
QUESTION: I have never seen another Banksy print in person. Does that sound right to you guys & gals? Watermark is "somerset ENGLAND" visible only on the back side of the paper. There is also some circular elaborate watermark.
Are most Banksy prints on such lusciously thick stock?
Also, think it might be a good idea to add paper stock info to the Banksy Prints section of this forum. Course, I looked there first and found a lot of info, but not that. (May be to keep potential forgers in the dark perhaps...but bet they can find it easier than I can.)
Thanks to anyone who could shed some light here.

Banksy BH paper stock information., by achtungbono on May 16, 2012 10:54:30 GMT 1, if it has a Straight PC Coa, then you should be OK - I assume you have checked with PC its all legit?
The fake BH produced by the Croydon set were on rather thicker - significantly heavier - paper than the originals. I dont have a copy of either to hand to confirm paper watermarks etc. The Fakes also took a while to settle down due to the thickiness of the paper
Check with PC that the Cert is a good un & the seller was the owner - get a paper trail sorted out

Banksy BH paper stock information., by Deleted on May 16, 2012 12:34:49 GMT 1, It came with a PC COA. Sent to POW clear photos of print, number and COA, Di w/ serial number, name seller provided as original owner and current registered owner. (Seller not either of those names, but understand once PC COA issued some people don't register print.)
Dora just got back to me instructing me to follow the Authentication link on the POW site and someone there will get back to me.
She confirmed none of the above information, which makes me worried.
Strange, she was able to switch over a signed Invader to my name with just a few photos, PDF file of original receipt and original owner's name.
Bought this BH from a forum member who had 2 references vouching for him.
(Also came with a crease in the upper margin which was not disclosed, but that is a smaller matter at the moment.)
Thanks a lot for the information.
