Some have just unsigned, some signed/unsigned editions and some just signed. Best of luck : ) I'm sure someone can point you in the direction of another list

Problem is you don't get any coa, only a receipt from the space shop. Unless they started providing these I doubt I would buy another.

I would imagine if you have the space shop order number and owner name it could be checked. Also if in original outer packaging the postal markings would be difficult to fake.

Space Invader ...inventory, by alittle on Sept 8, 2014 8:28:50 GMT 1, Does invader do verification? Also not sure who would have had the foresight to save packaging ~10 years ago in hopes of using it as an authentication tool later.

I know the alias's come with a credit card sized card with there location etc on but that is all.

Space Invader ...inventory, by Invaded 420 on Sept 8, 2014 10:54:44 GMT 1, I'm the same. I would only ever buy from source so I can guarantee its authenticity... Regarding coa and verification or whatever, there is no log kept of who brought what from space shop when it comes to kits and prints- does this make a difference? No not at all. I don't buy for investment or to ever to resell so I'm happy there's no coa or anything. No need for them if you buy from invader direct. Not in it for the money. I buy them cos I like them.

Invader will have order records the same as the buyer. It's up to Team Invader if they will offer checking as POW used to do prior to PC COA's.

We don't need any COA, Invader closes his kits in a special plastic bag with the number of the edition, etc...
I think, with all my sympathy and kindness, that it is a false debate ( or, show me fakes and I will see and maybe understand )... ;-)

when all the talk of fakes came out a couple of us emailed invader and orbi to ask if any records were kept regarding the sales of the kits. There is no record kept whatsoever according to orbi. So straight from the horses mouth- no record of what order number/ edition number is kept at all in print and kit sales through the space shop

Space Invader ...inventory, by Invaded 420 on Sept 8, 2014 14:56:40 GMT 1, Surely if they did keep records and gave authentification for pieces it will just encourage the resale of the pieces. Better too not then people out to make a quick buck will leave em alone and real fans can buy and keep for ever, simple. I have no problem myself. Will only buy from source and don't need coa as I know its real and that's all the counts

Where did you find that ?
And how to recognize the signs or bad writing of a fake ?
Who told you ? ( I ask you because I bought a Paris one at 400 quids 2 years ago on ebay )
Cheers
