You are confusing ownership of the medium with copyright over the
content. Cleaning graffiti off a building is exercising control over
the medium in your possession.
Selling postcards of your building prominently featuring the graffiti is
creating copies of the content: that would be problematic since it is
solely the privilege of the copyright holder.
Breaking the wall into pieces of graffiti you sell is "first sale":
lawfully disposing of the medium containing the "legally" acquired
authorized copy (the author chose to put it there, and you did not
commit any illegal act for getting it there I assume, like holding a gun
to their head) in your possession.
