Any art/poster experts out there?
Discussion
I got 3 of these about 10 years ago on ebay and then they were supposed to be collectible (designed by Banksy) (Greenpeace - Save or Delete)
I have recently found them again in the back of a cupboard and thought I might mount one and give the other 2 as gifts. I have looked on ebay and they seem to vary from £25 to £500 to £1500. It appears some came with a certificate, but how do I know for sure if mine are in the £500 or £25 range?
I am not too bothered about the worth, but it would dictate how well I look after them.
TIA.

The higher value would likely apply to limited run editions - normally you'd find there to be something like '34/200' (ie, the 34th print from a run of 200) somewhere on the print. The quality of the paper will be high, as will the quality of the printing (no fading, pin sharp). Possibly artist signed as well - though these being Banksy, probably not.
At the other end of the scale, the value is more arbitrary and determined by little more than how much someone is willing to pay. If they are part of a set then someone may pay a fair amount to complete and uncompleted set.
The only way to know for sure is take them to an art dealer for valuation.
As you're not interested in realising and value from them just mount them, frame them and enjoy them!

They are posters, not screenprints, and they were never signed,numbered, or issued with pest control COAs.
Many got folded/blu tacked, so nice to see a couple in decent condition.
As with anything banksy, many reproductions around.
Not worth thousands - real world hundreds in decent condition (ignoring high end gallery pricing)
Post on http://banksyforum.proboards.com/ if you want confirmation and to list them for sale.
