This is from the original SCREEN PRINTED reproduction run of this art by Appolo Arcade a few years ago. It was not made with the pre-mask.

Man that looks beautiful! :beerchug:

If I didn't waste money on a set of "B" stock, I'd probably buy this. It's hard to throw away $100 though.. :(

I think this art is little better than the phoenixarcade run and I have had and installed multiple sets of both. The material this is screened on is closer to the original arts mil. spec and texture imo.

I bought this set of art directly from the Appolos years ago. It seems thinner than the art I have from phoenixarcade/arcadeshop. This is closer to the original art I have installed on dedicated machines in the warehouse. This art did not have the premask while all the art I have purchased from you and Arcadeshop did. When installed the apollo art has always looked more like the original cabinet art when put side by side in person (IN MY OPINION). This is not a slight or insult to the new art made just an observation I have made over the years. The art from arcadeshop/phoenixarcade is a more durable material and also much easier to install. Both sets are spot on when it comes to color match and artwork. The appolo art also has just a little bit more of a shine to it when installed. Maybe the 2 sets of apollo art I got were different than what you have seen I do not know. I paid for them and waited a while for them to be made and shipped so I know I was most likely in the first run.

To set the record straight, there was an issue with the Apollos and the printer (which I wont get into) and most of the run was sent back to the printer. Due to the number of screens involved they also ran a ton of overs and there was some "B" stock.

I was offered the art from the printer and took "X" number of sets and all the "B" stock. What art sets I didnt take arcadeshop did.

So every set out there from Apollo, AS, PHX should be identical in every way except for the "B" stock. My guess is you have a set of the "B" stock and are comparing it to "A" stock or vice versa or someone elses repro.

I have since purchased the films, did a run using the same exact inks and materials from the same printer and plan another run as soon as there is a little more interest. We are getting close.

I wish you the best in your sale.
 
The dude abides

I have NEVER purchased B stock art. I think the appolo art looks more like the original artwork when installed than phoenixarcade and arcadeshop "A" stock mario art. That is my opinion based on experience of owning/installing 2 sets of appollo and 3 sets of the arcadeshop/phoenixarcade "A" stock art. I also have 2 dedicated mario's with original art on them to compare to. That is my opinion and I am sorry you do not agree with it.:rolleyes:

My qualified statement is based on factual information rather than opinion.

You CAN'T prove the art looks better than mine or Stevens since they came from the same printer who made them for Apollo. They're all the same.

If I wasnt too lazy to go up in a steaming hot attic I'd pull the invoices and scan them in that shows the dates and breaks down "A" and "B" stock from Apollos run. I'd probably piss some people off for that too.

I KNOW the art looks better because I have original cabinets and all 3 repro sellers artwork and have installed them all and compared. Do you have any dedicated Mario Bros with original artwork to compare to in person?

You can piss and moan all you want as It seems to be what you come to KLOV to do (as a quick look at your recent posts will show). Why not spend less time defending yourself on KLOV from imagined attacks and make another run of this art. I know allot of people claim they will buy it.:cool:

I have compared the Apollo art to my then wide body Mario Bros cab I had. It was then I decided to buy most of the run Apollo sent back because I was pleased with the quality.

I think you're just trying to make a quick buck while its out of stock by disparaging the quality of my art which happens to be the exact same as yours.

I will make Mario Bro eventually when I can get a few more people interested. But since you have more than what you need dont worry about me.

Also stop pissing and moaning about me in the same 24hr period you sent me a PM telling me what a good guy I am. How short of a memory you have when I gave you a discount (that you asked for) on an order that wasnt big at all. Now you want to take me on in public for a false statement you made? Well fine then, but don't expect me to lay down and not fight back.

All you had to say was you had a screen printed set that you couldnt buy anywhere else because it was out of stock and it would have eventually sold. But you decided to make up some bs at my expense to help it sell. Well, how's that working out for ya? Im starting to think you want this thread to continue so it acts as a bump.

BUMP.

You are a sad sack Darin. To spin my opinion on something into an attack and to imply I only did it to sell something I obviously do not care if I sell or not is just asinine. The appolo art is BETTER in my opinion no matter how many times you try to state otherwise or that it is the same.

It's funny how this is at least the second time you have brought up this minimal discount you gave me some 3-4 years ago on an order of art. Seems everytime I make a statement you do not agree with you go back to that. Please let me know how much the discount was for and I will gladly pay you the amount in paypal or donate it to a charity of your choice. The only reason I would have asked for a discount is because I could get the same product elsewhere for less money but wanted to keep my business with you or possibly order something that only you have along with other items I could get discounted elsewhere(although I think that was the year I had my heart surgery so maybe I was just strapped for cash from doctor bills). Either way I would rather return this amount than hear you complain about it for another 3-4 years like a pathetic tool.

Allow me to be the voice of reason here :)

This disagreement is only going to be settled by comparing a set of phoenixarcade's art to perfidous' art.

Let's assume for a moment that this happens. Perf may still claim his art looks better, and it could even have come from the same batch!!!!
matter of opinion.


oh yeah, mario bros sideart for sale $190 shipped. :)
