Who Got the NOS Journey CPO??

consider yourself lucky
it likes like to me that the ink has seperated for the top poly.
Ive never seen an NOS cpo that has a "protective film"

I think what your seeing there is the actual cpo material being peeled off
and the screened ink is still stuck to the adhesive on the back side. :(
 
Notice the bold:

You will get the exact as shown in the picture.

Whoever gets that is going to be sorely disappointed...

Yeah, I've never seen a film on top of a CPO... very odd.
But there's a pic where he's lifting it up on one edge, and it looks nice underneath. I don't know what to think.... Has anyone seen one separate like that before?
 
The Boom Box art on my 720 did that on both sets I received. It's happened to other members as well. The art looks beautiful attached to the adhesive, but there's nothing underneath it.
 
Is there any way to hot press it maybe and reactivate the adhesive using something like a large t-shirt transfer machine?

If it's really coming off that easy, how about peeling it back and re-laminating it with new stock?
 
im afraid thats not NOS... Theres too much solid blue on the left side... There should be more SILVER "shine" so to say on some of those bubble like images on there.. I know this cause i compaired my original to the one i replaced mine with... and thats the big difference between the 2

No, and the more they flex it, the more likely that "adhesive/print" layer will actually tear.
 
i have to ask, were these by chance bob roberts auctions? he's in gretna, la. i know he wouldn't bullshit people on nos being non nos, but just wondering due to location.

that thought occurred to me as well, but he hates paypal so I don't see it.
 
The overlay is in bad shape and separating like Rich stated.. but I'd say that is definitely a NOS overlay.....what I'm looking at it to authenticate is the printer logo on back..that company did most of the early midway stuff...the newer stuff with repro's is different ...I have a ton of nos midway artwork and the original mostly had that "Carl Gore" print company stuff on the early stuff...

looking at the 2 id say its a FAKE.. look at the blue sections where the SILVER shine is suppose to be::


NOS:

Its NOS....your judging this based on a camera shot that someone took...many factors can have an effect on how something looks in picture as opposed to actual item in person..the flash...lighting in the room..not to mention the overlay is separating which will effect the darkness or colors and transparency to begin with......the proof is in the backing...that isn't faked..that is a NOS overlay with the original companies logo and backing on the back of that overlay...I've got over 300 similar overlays etc from Midway to prove it..that company was a chicago based company that did artwork printing midway for many of their early games.....

Keep in mind they often did multiple runs/revisions too..and even the same run doesn't always yield the exact same colors...Rich could comment on that one better than me...I think this has something to do with amount of ink used for screens etc...in this case I just think you have one picture of an overlay with camera flash and the other where its taken under different lighting so one looks somewhat different when they are actually the same.
