fS: Donkey Kong side art exact NOS (from arcade renovations)

i bought the remaining inventory many years ago of donkey kong side art from phil at arcade renovations.
these have been kept sealed in a climate controlled environment and flat.
they are perfect, thick and NOS.
i have like 9 sets left... (18 pieces total)

$52 per set shipped (2 pieces).
or
$32 for just one piece shipped...

pm me please.
 
I think using the term NOS when talking about reproductions is confusing.

Maybe so. But it was printed 12 years ago :eek:

AFAIK, this was the best repro sideart made for DK. I don't recall the exact reasons or differences, but I know I've always wanted a set of this stuff over the newer repros.

He provided enough data for me to decipher what he's hawking, PM'd for a set.
 
NOS= new old stock
it was made years ago, and its still NEW (never used) so its NOS.
same as when they reproduce exact pinball parts with zero difference from manufactured new in machine extras, or someone like illinois pinball buys the rights and makes an identical target, ramp or other.
if someone saves those identical parts from illinois pinball and sells many years later...its NOS, isnt it?
you may be confusing the term NOS with OEM parts.

bottom line is, this IS the best art period.

most art out there today the ink runs, its too thin, and cant be applied properly.
 
Philippe made several different versions. First version was not too desirable. It had mistakes in the art and it was too glossy.

I would post pics to show everyone what they are buying.

One can use the term NOS in this case as long as they specify NOS repro. However personally I wouldn't use the term NOS with any repro regardless how old it was.

Good luck in your sale.
 
here are pix of 2 of them, they are film protected

UPDATE:
i have only 5 sets left:
i shipped a few sets today and shipping is way more than the usual. to ship the art work lying flat, it was between $17 and $35 pending distance.
if rolled up in a tube it was $14- $22 pending distance.

i took a huge hit on this.
this art is high grade and i originally paid $95 a set on this art over 10 years ago.

i still want to give fellow klov'ers a deal and its the only place i have even offered these.

for the remaining sets it will be as follows:
$60 a set (pair) shipped in a tube
$70 a set (pair) if shipped flat

this is with no P*Ypal fees.
 
from the responses hear it appears some art was not as good as others. were the blowout pieces flawed?

I can't say either way for sure regarding this specific situation, but

I recall him blowing out pretty much everything, and I don't remember anything about b-stock. I got a couple of sets myself and have one left that I'm keeping. The DK art I got from him looks great.

One of the biggest problems with printers who premask their art before we (the resellers) get it is we cannot qc it for flaws and errors. So you might have some bad stock there. But I doubt it. And if so it certainly wasnt intentional.

His first run had no premask and was flawed. I bought some right as I was getting in the business. Ironically his flawed art was better than Arcadeshops was.

As more people got into the art repro biz the quality of the finished products increased dramatically. All because of competition.
 
from the art i have from phil i never had any look bad, streak, be to thin, colors run or anything else. i used about 10 pairs of dk art and 8 pairs of dk jr art from the art i bought to restore machines from him, coming from the same art i am getting rid of now.
 
i only have 3 pieces left at this point. i thought i had 4........
i did have even numbers but i think i accidentally shipped someone 3 pieces instead of 2...lol

so.......all 3 pieces for $85 shipped rolled
or $99 shipped flat.
i have no need to sell 2 and have one left over.
so its take all 3..to buy now..
have an etxra in case u messed up on an install or hang it on a door or wall as art.

its good stuff:)
thx everyone..
 
i still have the 3 pieces left
price is firm, no need to pm and try to haggle...
ive already lost a bunch on these...
don't lowball an already great offer.

I bought a set and the colors are good only thing I Noticed is these seem a little more glossy than normal but they are great and I appeciate the Great offer!
Bump it up for a nice product at a good price!
