Ok. fair enough Greg/RTBB. I didnt know anything about the approved issue on these decals. But it would have been a good idea for a distribution company in 2012, if they were approved so to speak, you have to give me that.
I am sure there are many many parts that have been reproduced by sellers which have been done directly with new manufactirers that have had no imput/licensing with Bally/Williams. The pinball market is full of them. Perhaps its the accepted industry thing if the product is only $20 to $50, but when it gets to $250 to $300 people start to get nervous.
and thats the mine field....... knowing what is and what is not
and its got nothing to do with cost of item.
like Rads said "If I held the licence and read this topic I would be on the phone to my solicitor"
and so would I .
