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

It's the person making the fakes that needs a kicking. Lol

Space Invader ...inventory, by alittle on Sept 7, 2014 23:54:02 GMT 1, I personally would not buy any kits unless it is from source. With no COAs, or owner registry, even the best provenance can easily be faked.

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.

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.

That's why I won't be buying anymore kits.

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.

With no COAs, or owner registry, even the best provenance can easily be faked. Well, I don't think that Invader ' kits are so easy to make ! They are perfect, you see at the second a fake ! And, honnestly, how many kits have you seen in sale on ebay per months ? Not a lot. 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 )... ;-)

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
