No idea, but its a fun image.
What is it 15 years old? Would it be worth a tenner for a nice old sticker? Even if it has no link to Banksy?
Its a similar price to the other stickers he has, so not hugely inflated by the Banksy? in the description.
I f you collect stickers go for it. If you collect Banksys.... it might be worth takeing a punt.

I'd give it wallspace chap.
Already cut up a cd to grab images from the same series.
I expect Fed has the lowdown on those covers.
I won't bid but am looking for 1 now.. GL.

I'd say there's a good chance it's not real, considering the seller has a shit ton of new looking stickers for sale plus, for what's it worth, I've never seen one - and I even have the bus stop size posters - so let's just say I've been looking for years and never even heard mention of them  |

The fact that you never saw one like this makes me doubt much more than his ongoing sticker sales. If you have a big collection you can sell a lot of real stickers on the Bay. But guess you are right in this case, it's fishy...

Yes, the artwork is by Banksy and there are lps CDs and posters of it out there. But it seems like there was no sticker made, which brings us to the suggestion that this is a self printed sticker produced by the seller... |

In the end it's all about a promo sticker for some music. Fake sticker or not, it's good music  |

That exact image used on ebay is the only version of the sticker I can find with a quick google. If it were 15 years old I would expect to see more. So a well made home photoshop job does look highly probable. |

So a well made home photoshop job does look highly probable. sorry for the crap photo, but it's too large to get a good one. it's the same image/layout as the original poster(s)  this one isn't my picture, but there are the "small" posters  so again, not very conclusive.. the listing says it's "New & Unused" which I guess could be taken a couple of different ways. the sticker has space on the sides but not the tops which seems strange to me. who knows. I guess for $10 it might be worth a shot for a decrotaive item... great image and great group |

I could be wrong.... just ask them how they got it and see if they can pass the bullshit meter Asked him and this is the answer: "Hi there, Thanks for your question, I got this sticker about 3 months ago when I had the opportunity to go through and buy some of a Bristol legends Stickers collection that he'd been collecting for around 25-30years. The person was Danny Wainwright, co-founder of the Bristol skate shop Fifty Fifty & street artist. He had lots of promotional stickers in his Collection and I'm pretty sure these are original from when the cd came out in the early 2000s. Had you seen or heard of the cd's? I hope this helps Cheers A...... " Searching Danny wainwright's instagram made me find this post: http://instagram.com/p/BR0LTwMBfst The sticker isn't in this picture so it's still not bulletproof but I think it's a good story...  |

Wow.
There are some skater stickers there that I remember & even have a few from the late 70's.
I should have California Freestyle complete board somewhere. Kept it as a souvenir, I think it was one of the 1st to be imported into the UK.
The fact that a couple of stickers could have been produced for their marketing seems entirely plausible to me.
Would it not get mentioned in a Discogs listing?

Looks like he has a few though because one went up right after it sold
Normally I'd think that looked a bit dodgy but after your great research I'm quite happy to risk a few quid that they're legit
