Invader Price Guide
Invader price guide built from curated secondary-market results — median behavior, format-driven ranges, and authentication standards from Gauntlet Gallery comp data. The emphasis is on settled transaction data and repeatable median behavior rather than active asking prices.
Market Snapshot
Across roughly 730 curated Invader secondary-market results, the all-time median sits near $1,150, rising to about $2,100 for the recent 2016–2026 window as demand for the category has strengthened. The defining feature of Invader's market is spread: format matters more than almost any single factor. Open-edition Invasion Maps and widely produced works anchor the accessible end; signed and numbered screenprints occupy the middle; and sealed, signed Invasion Kits, early works, and scarce series push toward the top, with premium kits reaching five figures.
What moves value
- Format is the primary driver: maps, screenprints, and Invasion Kits occupy very different price bands.
- Provenance is decisive. With no Pest Control equivalent, a documented Space Shop invoice, original kit packaging, or gallery record materially affects both salability and price.
- Edition scarcity, series desirability, condition, and — for kits — whether the piece remains sealed.
How to read the data
- Median is a repeatable reference point, not a ceiling; top sales are context, not ordinary valuation.
- Figures are directional. They summarize curated public results after filtering out non-artist "invader" noise (advertising signs, sports, music, toys).
- Low-count years are directional only; higher-volume periods are more reliable.
Indicative Ranges by Format
Directional bands from curated results. Individual pieces vary widely with edition, condition, and provenance — treat these as orientation, not appraisal.
| Format | Typical range (USD) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Invasion Maps (open / widely produced) | $300–$900 | Accessible entry point; condition and city desirability matter. |
| Signed & numbered screenprints | $700–$4,000 | Editions ~50–100; series and subject drive the spread. |
| Invasion Kits (opened / unsigned) | $1,000–$5,000 | Ceramic tile kits; completeness is critical. |
| Invasion Kits (sealed / signed, scarce) | $5,000–$33,000+ | Premium tier; sealed condition and provenance command the top. |
| Rubikcubism / originals | Varies widely | One-offs; valued case by case with provenance. |
Authentication note: Invader does not operate a standing authentication service like Banksy's Pest Control. Provenance — a Space Shop invoice, original kit packaging, or a gallery record — plus correct dimensions, signature, and edition detail carry the weight. See our How to Spot a Fake Invader guide.
FAQ
What is a typical price for an Invader print?
It depends heavily on format. Curated results show an all-time median near $1,150 and a recent (2016–2026) median around $2,100, but Invasion Maps can start in the low hundreds while sealed, signed Invasion Kits reach five figures.
Why is the price range so wide?
Invader's collectible output spans open-edition maps, limited signed screenprints, ceramic Invasion Kits, and one-off originals — each occupies a different band. Format, edition size, condition, and provenance together explain most of the spread.
How reliable are these numbers?
They are directional. Figures summarize roughly 730 curated public secondary-market results after removing non-artist "invader" listings (advertising signs, sports, music, toys). They orient a buyer or seller; they are not a formal appraisal.
Does provenance really change the price?
Yes. Because there is no central authenticator for Invader, documented provenance — a Space Shop invoice, original kit packaging, or a gallery record — materially affects both how easily a piece sells and what it sells for.
