It's a tough choice Roy. I've always said I won't let mine go until I can trade it for a signed Banksy knowing that wouldn't happen but the gap is closing right now with gallery prices.

DONT!!!!

15 together or each? 😳😵😳😵

Wow.. Insane🤗😵😂 Thx for info

Which galleries augustg?

One sold at auction a few weeks ago £4200 If remember correctly

Don't believe the hype

If I thought it were reasonable I would send you some offer like that - but I know it's not! It's a beautiful piece, just out of my price range... his woodcuts to me are the treasures.

Think it all comes down to preference. For me it's always been his embossed prints that caught my eye. Reminded me most of his street work; so nice in person as well

Hmmm, I personally read it a bit differently - the kits are the only way for commoners to be able to afford a tile invader, and he hasn't made one for years now. Will there be more? The real contention with kits comes from, for me, two sources: 1. fakes, which have by now largely been dealt with and the community has established comparatively easy ways to identify (in sealed kits) which leads into... 2. opened kits. They still seem to have a market, however are significantly less desirable from a provenance point of view. Once the kit is open, with research and work, someone could reproduce the contents.

The fact that many kits have been opened (even by me) has reduced the sealed market, to the point where their numbers are unknown. 70%? 50%? Certainly by the later kits, more are being kept sealed, but it's still a reduced market. I don't see the kits suffering from any depreciation.

In the prints world... well, it's anyone's guess - things I would think that would not be as desirable (e.g. Giclée) are very desirable. I feel that any embossed print will do well, how well being up to the subjectivity of any buyer on any given day. Even non-embossed and for that matter unsigned prints are doing amazingly. I personally don't see it going anywhere. For one or two to shine while others tank makes little sense; if there is demand for some works and people cannot get them, they will go for another work just to have him represented in their collection.

my 2c - time will tell!

Thank for your long answer ...
I like kits of course but for many " high grade " ( rich ? Lol ) collectors, the only artwork to be collected is the "
Embossed print ". With a Pow stamp it's better. I just don't understand why people liked the White out series ( you know with Mona Lisa, explosion or Karate kids , they seem a bit " poors " )
Kits are hard to frame, i reckon you can't frame them - i made a color photocopy of them to put them on my wall ) .
The argument of " fake kits "
Is not a good one : there is only two kits that have been faked: the blue one ( was it the Runner ? ) and The " one eyed " - red on white but not sure ) . The others ? Nope. It's a legend. Anyway you send pics to Orbi and they will answer you.
Anyway art market is funny : at a moment, it was Dran, now Invader, will the prices stay high ? Not sure. As the explosion with Banksy Lp covers, after Dismaland ...
Some" classics " yes. I just ring understand why and how Aladdin approches the 7 fig the regular or 20 for the AP VIP edition ?
The print is sympathetic of course, but not more.

Well, regarding prices and perceived value, for what its worth, I remember receiving very nasty messages after selling my signed Banksy £100 sheet of Di-faced tenners, edition of 50 and originally sold by POW for £95 a pop (what I paid), on the bay for just over £4k. Basically people were ranting at me saying I'd shilled it and it wasn't worth that much. Six months later, they were selling in the auction houses for 10's of thousands. So, I suppose what I'm saying is no one can be sure where any of these prints will go, if the market will sustain itself, or they'll be a drop. Its all down to how badly someone wants the piece, the perceived rarity and its availability. Anyway, I'm not saying anything no one on here already knows, just putting my two pennies worth in. :-) I've been offered over £7k for my Invaded Scream AP woodcut and I'm tempted, as I'd like some Hurvin Anderson in my collection, but as you can see from my little story, I've made the wrong decisions before.

Congrats on the sale.

I'd trade it for a signed Banksy...
