I have a feeling it could be a serious offer to flippers holding the bag.

I think an honest offer from most people on this print would be somewhere below $30... if it were somebody joking about what 99.5% of people think it's really worth, that's the range I would assume their offer would be in.


Good insight from a new account.

Ohhh now I got it. Put offers below face on all the posters we find ugly on EB. :lol:

That's 2 out of his last 3 releases. Looks like we have a fan in the making.

I guess Banksy copying Warhol isn't that bad.

Banksy and Dolk have used the banana as a gun. Brainwash takes the Warhol banana and does with it what you can only really do with a banana. Eat it. It's like the opposite of Magritte. Ceci est une banane. A satire of the banana art history is what this is for those wondering. :ziggi:

At 100 or 200 this would have been anarguabkynfood buy. At 500, regardless. On the fewn100-150 flip profit's including shipping both ways, insurance, and time. It seems worth it someone, but also a gamble I'd pass on. But good for those folks.

I was lucky enough to grab one of these prints on the drop yesterday, **I am a newb here, and I get that I have no opinion but I really like this take on Warhol's original idea, I sarcastically see it as a metaphor for Mr Braimwash's career. How much do you all think framing is going to run for this? Did anyone out there frame NYC Taxi or 4 Ali prints I am again hoping for a litho included. The last print Queen Red tube had none
The Original Pure Hemp® Rolling Papers :ziggi: made in Spain, unlike some of our competitors

More than the print itself. To do it well probably double.

Someone posted their framed Going to New York not long ago - maybe over in the thread for it, can't remember, but that would be my guess where I saw it. It looked really good, even though I wasn't crazy about the print.

Warhol is bad.
Overrated. Perhaps the most overrated artist in history.
People who copy him only appear weak and desperate.
Banksy is a legit artist, he doesn't need to cash in on crap.

Depending on a lot of things (Frame choice, museum glass vs UV plexi, matting options, etc) I would guess that framing this will range anywhere from $400-$1,400

It could be framed for <$200 if you DIY.
Just priced it out on FrameDestination. Basic frame, no mat, acid free foam core, UV acrylic.
