But looking beyond money, there are a few standouts for me. The Nunca is very sharp, and both the Swoon and the Cyrcle pieces are standouts.

Sotheby's, TAKE IT TO THE STREETS, HOCA Foundation, by timmundo on Nov 15, 2017 3:41:43 GMT 1, A sincere question:
What's up with the serious demand for Invader kits? It's obviously an insane "have" at the moment, and there's nothing wrong with that. Especially for the supply side which is envious in most scenarios.
I own a couple of unsigned Banksy prints, Grannies and Pulp (prob most unwanted of his bunch). And I totally understand why folks would say "no way I'd want that on my wall" sorta stuff. I happen to like... blah. But they ARE on the wall.
So as far as these Invader kits, are they wall material (i've yet to see a real display of them), or are they an investment for true Invader lovers? 4-12k for a kit that can't go on the wall would scare the shit out of me regarding an investment that kinda sits somewhere.
Like I said, a real Q with hopes of being enlightened.

investment wise, one advantage I guess of these types of pieces is that they will surely last well, I mean easier to keep and a print on paper.

If ou can prove provenance and have the bag they will sell just as well opened as closed (first hand experience)
And to prove I am. It kidding, here is my MSF kit being openend (although admitedly I was scared shitless) to inspect it before what is going to be a complicated mounting process

I hear thereโs going to be a Zach Monograph out next year.
Iโll be happy to add it to my art book collection.
