Blek Le Rat - The King Print

Overview

Known as the "Father of Stencil Graffiti," Blek Le Rat laid the foundation for artists like Banksy — and his iconic rat imagery continues to be a symbol of rebellion and culture.

House of Resell members secured 'The King' LE300 signed print — complete with certificate of authenticity, while thousands failed during release due to website overloads. This isn’t just a print — it’s a long-term appreciating asset with previous LE300 Blek prints fetching £1,000+ used, and £1,500+ new. One recent U.S. listing already shows the current value: £1,809.63.

How the Flip Played Out

Members acted fast during the limited release while the site was crashing for many.

Only 300 pieces were made available — those who got in secured instant equity.

A preorder listing at nearly £1,810 proves the art market’s appetite.

Whether you flip now or hold for a few years, this one’s got blue chip collector upside.

Final Thoughts

This flip wasn’t about hype — it was about knowledge. Those who understood the legacy of Blek, the scarcity of LE300 runs, and acted fast during a cooked site drop walked away with a £1,500+ return window. Some flips are short-term, this one? It’s art — let it appreciate.
