And then you get a crazy ebay sale the other day for a hologram, hopefully not artificial to make the new ones look like good value

Sheesh...600 for a blurry PinballHeaven repro.

Illinois Pinball also remade a repro version a few years back (around the $300 US mark as well from memory) and tried to go the cost cutting route by using sub standard holo materials...half of the finished holograms ended up turning red or having the image deteriorate within 18 months.

I think this is a repro item where you just cannot cut corners to get a quality finished product (and if that results in a premium price, so be it).
