What’s the Most Expensive Cardboard Sheet?

Cardboard sheets are known as a low-cost packaging option. They are widely used to provide a protective layer between stacked products. However, flat cardboard sheet is also a great material for those wanting to get creative.

Spray Painted Placards

The rigid nature of corrugated cardboard sheet, along with the fact that it is easy to paint, means protestors often use it to make placards. These allow their message to be clearly communicated during demonstrations.

This was the case back in 2003, when renowned street artist, Banksy, spray painted a series of placards. These were carried by individuals opposing the Iraq war. Three survived and were recently taken to auction in Newcastle.

Costly Cardboard

Owning an original Banksy is an aspiration for many people, so this opportunity generated considerable interest. In total, the three placards were sold for £24,000! That could be the most expensive cardboard sheet ever sold!
