Invader • Invasion Kits IK, by Happy Shopper on Apr 3, 2017 15:16:23 GMT 1, The issue isn't whether you believe this is real (I have no doubt it is), but when you're spending this kind of money it's whether you could prove it to the next person. As far as I know these tiles aren't made by Invader, so in theory could be faked quite easily... or am I wrong? Anyway, a mail at Orbi or at Invader etc... and they will tell you if its real or not. * the texture of the tiles could be a bit weird too..
If they can authenticate kits, then that's great.

It seems the bags are harder to fake than the tiles and work as a COA of sorts.
(As I see it anyway!)

With prices what they are, it's only a matter of time before the market is rife with counterfeits.

Lol, Orbi is Invader. So, as the author, he is the first to answer, I mean to know if this artwork is a real one.
They just say by mail if it is a real one or not.
No COA, nothing.
Just yes or .. no ;-)

. You just take a good photo ( or photocopy color ) form the web and you frame it.
I am happy to touch thme in their boxex then, they are heavy as gold ingots.
Why you don't like Kits. And to answer to I dont remember who, htere in no problems with the kits, at the contrary ! We don't have to think ( as for a print ) if they are " mint " or not.

Invader is a caring man. and tricky too. He knows all about artworks, kits, robs etc...
There are only tow fake kits , the Vienna one ( the blue one ) and the Albinos ( not sure for this one ).

You'd have to ask POW, but I doubt it.
They didn't have any list of who bought early Banksy prints until they started Pest Control and people applied for COAs.

He doesn't make the tiles himself nor have someone to make it. He doesn't have the exclusivity on the tiles is using but in an other hand he's using tiles from small companies and that's make more difficult to find the exact same one.
If you show him a piece he will say straight away he it's made with the same tiles as him but not if he made it..

As mentioned above, I pretty sure that in less than 6 months, you see plenty of fake kits with similar packaging of the relay ones. Keep on eye on eBay and you will see

Invader • Invasion Kits IK, by maddoghoek100 on Apr 3, 2017 18:46:46 GMT 1, fake kits have been around for quite a while and there is nothing rare or exclusive about the tiles used. In fact there are links posted to the exact tiles (or at least VERY close) all over the place. There are also plenty of threads on faked bags. The more expensive the item the more time someone will spend trying to fake it.
Anyone can make their own invader any day of the week. This is one thing that makes a street piece removed from the street worthless. Orbi will not authenticate and there is nothing preventing anyone from making and faking them.
If you have your original purchase receipt email you could probably get something for this with people vouching for you, but once it leaves your hands and goes to a secondary purchaser they could never come close to verifying the provenance. It is a nice piece, but form a monetary standpoint if so hard to authenticate it is probably only worth what a high quality fake is worth.
Joe Stigletz got a nobel prize in economics for this exact thing in a paper about the market for lemons regarding asymmetric information flows in markets.

Still have some regrets selling the kits even tho they were kept it a box, undisplayed.

i don't believe you. It s easier to make fake prints for eBay morons ( not you of course ) than fake kits ( unless you are blind ! - there is a cello wrapped, signed and numbered around kits, prints are only paper and ink

What's hard to fake with kits?
You can buy the tiles and the anti-static envelopes, and done!
Much easier than an embossed screen print.
