A couple weekends ago - two of the cards I've been trying to track down appeared on Ebay:

The bank card
The Voight-Kampff operator card

Both looked to be the Beastmaster versions. I won the first auction (for the card) and informed the seller, 'ursus42_alpha' I'd be after the second, which he then offered to me outside of Ebay for $10.

So two weekends later and these arrive:





Your eyes do not deceive you. The pictures are not blurry, nor is there poor lighting in the pictures. They are extremely poor quality.

The VK card uses a low res VK logo, poorly coloured in red. Even makes a mistake in 'D15', which should be '015'. The 'bar code' is clearly where the seller couldn't work out the bar code on Beastmasters card and slapped a low res scratch bar on there. The edges show pixelation and the back does have that horrible pixelated look with strange lighting going through it.

The bank card has very poor detail and appears to be a blown up version of this:



So that was $30 all in all for something I wouldn't have paid $10 for. So be warned......


On the other hand, there was also something else in the post....











And it is a thing of wonder....that came from a guy in Japan(Ebay). Very pleased with that!!

Thanks for the heads up White43 , I too recently got the newspaper from the same eBay seller in Japan and was very please with it, it's a lovelly piece.
I found a piece of art work someone had shared on the RPF for the deckard "world card" but didn't know anyone with a card printer, so I found an eBay seller who prints ID's etc and theyprinted me up some.
The quality was ok,nothing like anything beastmaster produces but for a couple of quid it was fine.
However I had to order a few so have a couple spares, I'm not fussed about the cost of a stamp so if you want one PM me your address and I'll pop it in the post for you

The newspaper is definitely quality work, and Junichi is always pleasant to do business with Very Happy

Those two cards though... that quality is almost an insult!

It's worth you all knowing that the seller refunded me $15 after I pointed out the poor quality of the cards. So plenty of respect for that.

picture on the listing seems better quality than the actual card, shame on them for selling it without showing a high Rez pic in the first place. Probably banking on people not calling them out on it

Hi Spinner - no, we all appear have gotten them from a seller in Japan. Go to www.ebay.com and search for Blade Runner prop.

Yes, but Junichi (NYzeki) is not on much. PM sent.
