When New Old Stock is Bad Old Stock - NOS Cheyenne CPO Disaster
Recently purchased a NOS Cheyenne CPO. Was thrilled to get it and couldn't wait to apply it. It had a few small tears on the bottom and some pretty good creases, but i've installed a lot of art before, NOS and repro so i didn't think too much about it. But... as i began slowly and carefully peeling the backing off, to my horror i discovered the glue and artwork were peeling off as well. At first it was ok because it was on the bottom of the CPO and would never be seen so i proceeded. It got better until i hit the complex artwork, logo and mountain range then all Hell broke loose again. If this didn't happen to me, it would have happened to ANYONE else who tired to install it. Anyway i decided that i should just peel the whole thing off to at least have something to scan as a backup (Rich at TOG has a scan already) I mounted it to poster board. Am I bummed? Yes. Was it expensive? YES!
Should i have returned it?
Not tried to install it?
Ask for a refund or partial refund?
Bend over and take it like a man?
OR?
Crease before install looks harmless:
After install attempt, brittle pieces just break off:
CPO lined up and hinged with tape:
After install attempt, art pulled off:
