See SourceThe Banksy Editions Guide is aimed as a resource to document the details of all the original limited edition Banksy prints officially that have been published with details on the edition size, signature and numbering information as well as variants such as artists proofs, printers proofs or VIP prints.
Banksy’s prints are sold either signed or unsigned. The total number in each edition varies, but is typically between 600-750. The signed prints are more collectable than unsigned prints and this is reflected in the market pricing. With each edition there are also Artists Proofs, and often Printers Proofs. These are in addition to the official edition and are normally a low number. As a result a premium tends to be attached as they are more covetable. There are also VIP prints, these are editions for which there has never been an official public release instead they are sold to a small group of 'Banksy VIP's. These are highly desirable for any and all Banksy collectors.
