I don't think they will flip. They are huge, Difficult to store, very expensive to ship to a potential buyer and probably fairly large editions.
People said the same thing about the Hirst prints on aluminum. And they definitely flipped.

Not saying it'll happen here, but... it is possible.

I mean, I love me some Roxy Music, but I don't know how that album cover ended up in this group

Flip has a temporal component. Just because something will sell for more in the future doesn’t make it a flip IMO. But these will 100% sell for more than $3000 down the road. I just asked chatgpt and it said the Cube and Marilyn are your best bets. I told it duh.

I am torn between the cube and its simplicity or camo which screams invader. Decisions Decisions

if i didn't own any invader prints... i'd probably go for camo. however, i don't think the XL size suits the image very well as the cubes are much larger than actual rubiks squares. it would have been better served being a smaller size.

with a timed edition ... and crypto bro speculators i imagine the price on these will be fairly depressed for quite some time. but for an invader fan/collector, pretty easy purchase. i imagine the long term price appreciation will probably depend on whether this is a one-off release with heni or if this is a signal of a future partnership. certainly hope invader doesn't turn on the supply faucet with heni timed releases.

If I wiped my a$$ with $100 bills, I'd go for the camo.

If you look at how the product is listed on HENI in the code it’s something like INVDR1-1 INVDR1-2 I’m sure the way HENI pumps fudge out there’s gonna be more of these releases. Possible this is the only open edition one tho trying to gauge interest. Also agree w the crypto bro speculators, and I think they are accepting crypto so..

Signed on a sticker on the back for 3k too seems shitty, but it’s how HENI does it.

I’m passing.

Agreed, at $1500 they would have had me, but too big a piece to to gamble on just storing at that price. I dont think it would fit in my flatfile

1500 is less than what invaders last print (alert 2020) cost directly from the space shop and these are way bigger and I would bet cost way more to produce. Would it have been nicer if these were signed on the front of course but the sticker works fine and from a logistics standpoint makes way more sense. They are huge authorized invader works. My problem is more of the size than the cost. Still deciding to buy 1, 2 or 3 myself. Marilyn is definitely going on the wall

That’s the one I really want. Curious what the print totals would be. Instead of open edition wish it was /100 or /150 and you knew the total. Damn they are 29 lbs+

the 3'x3' size doesn't bother, but yah, just checked shipping on one to Denver and it's $148, oof (no taxes on the final price for the US, it looks like - sitting here considering logistics, hovering on that buy button)
