No Ball Games 09 Banksy

[cadeallaw]

Congrats to those that scored in the POW lottery... as long as you hold onto 'em instead of f**king flipping 'em...

thank you...i will post some pics after i get done framing it...i have never framed anything this large before...but i am thinking the frame job is gonna cost almost as much as the artwork...as far as flipping...i feel pretty honored to host this up in my home...the only thing i like to flip is my GF around 10 minutes through...maybe in a few years i will get bored with her like this banksy...only time will tell...i do know one thing...i will get back what i put into my banksy...my girlfriend...now that is a real gamble!!

and remember, with a sharpie you can turn ANY poster into a Phish poster

Quick question for those who have received their print:

Does anyone else have a tiny mark on their print near the grass by the boy's foot? It looks like a small grease mark, about a cm big in the shape of a crescent moon.

I'm wondering if this is on all the prints, or if mine got a little defect. It's really small, but it's still bothersome. It is something that would also lower the value of the print (although I never plan on giving this thing up).

Sorry I can't answer your question, but try looking at the images of those for sale on Ebay and if none seem to show the same mark, then I suggest you take some photos of the print and email them to Dora at POW asap (sales@picturesonwalls.com), who will be able to advise you and, if it is a defect, I suspect they will probably replace your print for you if you want them to. Good luck working that out.

Thanks for the input. I took a look at Ebay and the one for sale there doesn't have the mark.

I sent an email to Dora 20 minutes after I opened my tube on Wednesday. I included a few photos, but the mark doesn't look very significant in them so hopefully they take my email seriously. I haven't heard back from them yet, but I'm chalking that up to the holiday season.

i have that same mark on mine...i think its suppose to be there and is part of the artwork? my number is in the upper 100's.

I think it's pretty funny that 1/2 the people that got this seem to have phish or dmb in their usernames

I'm wondering why this print isn't fetching the same $$ on the secondary market as prints such as NOLA. This is a lower run, larger piece an IMO just as good of an image. Sign of the times? What do you guys think?

NBG is a larger run than NOLA. NBG is a run of 500 250 green 250 grey. IMO the Nola image appeals to more of a worldwide collector whereas NBG might have more appeal to the UK collector. The " No Ball Games " sign is something that people see on a regular basis (at least that is what I was told while in the UK). I see NBG as being similar to Very Little Helps...most people in the US have no idea what TESCO is however it were a Wallmart flag VLH would have huge appeal in the States.
Very Little Helps is also a smaller run than No Ball Games and still does not fetch that much more.

The more pictures I see of the green the more it makes my stomach churn..it looks like pea soup puke. Glad I have the Grey.

I kind of agree with benny, I personally think the green is just hideous. I also dont think this image even ranks near the same as Nola. I get what he is saying and all that, just not one of his better efforts I think.

no ball games is what you might see on a sign on an large area of grass like in a residential housing area. not big like a park or field where they are supposed to play. basically if you live round there you wouldnt want kids kicking a foot (soccer) ball around. so the council put signs up. i never really like this bansky cause to me it looks like the kids are throwing a slab of concrete through the air.

[RupertPupkin]

There is a 'No Ball Games' sign round the corner from my house. Completely ignored by the children it's aimed at, of course.

I know it all depends on the person looking at it......

I happen to really like the green. I think the red really pops off of it

Maybe I'm biased because I got the chance to buy the green, but I prefer it. It reminds me of grass while the gray reminds me of concrete. I'll post some pics once I get this thing framed.

No reason to hype..my print is not going anywhere. Just calling it as I see it.
