Trust me, people who know me well, know that I just don't go throwing accusations around like this. The seller only sells items I and Mikes Arcade have printed in the past couple with years (we use the same printer). He was also selling our Phoenix CPOs (do you really think somebody else would run 100-200 Phoenix CPOs as well). I purchased one to confirm that they were the same and they were.
Remember, when we print screen printed artwork, we have to print quite a bit to make the price reasonable. We're not printed 20-30 at time, which this is selling.
I reprinted Donkey Kong sideart recently as well, which is why he has it. I've spoken to other arcade artwork dealers and my printer about this and we're all pretty sure what is going on here, without going into too much detail.
It is a shame, but I'm sure you can read between the lines here, we did purchase Arcade Renovations inventory a few years ago and I thought the seller left the business, at least that is what he told me, but apparently I was incorrect.
It is just really sad to me that people are this unethical. This is the main reason you haven't seen us print any new artwork, I'm not about to make a $3000 investment to see somebody else take the overprints and undercut me.
Again, if you can appreciate the difference in screen printed artwork and want to see it continue to be on the market support, the honest dealers.
