Think it might be best to name the gallery.

If people have a paper trail back to that gallery it gives them the chance to do something about it.  

I also saw a fake tokyo on the US ebay few month ago, i did a thread about it on the forum... It stayed a long time on the bay

Would be good to post some pictures of these fakes, pointing out the things to spot.

Also, name the gallery so people can check where theirs come from.

Also, I assumed those bags were printed by the company that makes them. Meaning that anyone could by them without having to make "fakes".

Does Invader really get that yellow text printed himself?

Until they're named (so people can check their paper trail) I'd assume no one will be buying these kits without a receipt from invader!

I'm sure yours are fake. I meant that if we post pictures of other supposly fake kits, we need to be 100% sure they are fake....

The bags come with the yellow print already on them.
I'm an engineer and we get sensitive electrical components in these bags, I think that's what they are originally intended. To protect them from static.

we are going to have a whole new Banksy/POW provenance drama on our hands, Invader prices are moving up at a rapid rate, the last batch of tiles were all signed to avoid this but all previous batches of tiles that are unsigned opened and displayed have the ability of being forged! Is Invader able to verify older tiles without bags with a COA and provenance? I doubt it as they are in reality only tiles, interesting times ahead on this one.

I asked... but sadly Orbi has no record of the kits who have been sold in the past

I have also asked this question to orbi, how do they suggest there displayed. Open or sealed? If there sposed to be opened then surely there supposed to be opened without a knife, just slid out at the unsealed end. In this case ik14 sig would be ripped in half? So it seems to me they were sposed to be left sealed. Obviously 15 the open end doesn't run through sig so easy to open without ruining sig. Mixed messages. I got my 14 opened but with a scalpel (which felt weird. Felt it should have been opened the way it was intended but like i said i didnt wanna damage the sig) an 15 un opened as of yet.

Bedankt Sal
Orbi told it to me in the context of our conversation. I was asking if he could see if the kit itself was also a fake. He told me that when the seal was faked there was no way of telling if the kit itself was also fake or real. If you have prov of buying the kit from Invader and have the bag (with or without the sig) you are pretty save re having a real kit. If you buy a kit which is opened it is very hard to see if the tiles have been faked. The hard part of faking is (and now : used to be) the bag.



Edit : I also think that the whole idea was that the kits who were sold in the past were meant to be stuck on buildings (expanding the invasion). But a lot of people started collecting them and trading in them, prices kept climbing and now most of the invader kits will never be opened because it will loose it's value.

Yeah I believe that too man. As In The early invasion guide it gives hints to spreading the invasion with kits but more recent years invader seemed to change his mind in being 2 player And people Putin kits up. If it was just helping spreading the invasion then no one would spend 300€ + in kits wen they could buy cheap tiles an put pieces up around the city they live in. Like you said it turned into a collecting thing years ago and with it invaders attitude on getting help spreading the invasion also changed. Love the kits though an will always try and collect them as I couldn't afford an original or alias. There a great idea.

Not sure what the embossing actually looks like, but I can't see any at all.

Its as if the bag is inside out.

Check the picture in my starting post. You can see the embossed date "2012" and you can see the original triangle in half the round too.
