Quoted from WannaTheater:

Does anyone have any FACTS on if IPB will be making more? DoigPiranha seems to have posted the "closest to source" comment. Anyone have any additional facts to support/contradict?

Facts, TAF repro playfields are NOT happening.

Over 26 months and counting where I have had numerous conversations with IPB both in person, on email, and over the phone and the template reply is that the are coming soon/next month/ off to the silscreener/ make up any BS you want...

Plain and simple they are never happening. The best thing that could happen for TAF owners is if IPB gets their legal troubles taken care of and is forced to sell the ability to remake pfs to someone that can get teh job done right.

Even IF IPB managed to someday remake them, trust me that the quality would likely not be worth buying. Have you seen the most recent pfs they have made??? not worth the price and the colors are wrong and the registration is off (which is odd since the last ones were direct print I think).

Quoted from WannaTheater:

Perhaps I am just picky, but that ebay playfield seems like the printing positioning is way off. Is this is what is referred to as "registration errors?"

No, registration errors would be when the multiple screens are not lined up (registered using the registration marks or key typically) properly so each ink layer is slightly off from planned position. This results in a more 3-D looking effect of tight areas with overlap of multiple screens. Look at registration marks on the lower R and lower left of the pf to see what I am talking about.

The one on ebay just appears to be slightly off position from the blank/ through holes on the bottom left side inlanes. Go look at original TAFs and other IPB TAFs and you will see this is actually somewhat typical. There are small variances in any screen print and blank, and the keyline (black outline) is what ties it all together and covers up any small issues.

From what I can see in the pictures this is pretty nice example.

Quoted from Nepi23:

The auction at ebay is strange to me as the seller does not want to accept foreign bids even though the shipment address would be in the US and the payment would be done via PayPal. Well, the seller has the right to determine the terms under which the auction is held, but hopefully this will not be a growing phenomenon though!

Not really odd from my POV. International shipping is both risky and a PITA, esp when shipping something made of wood. If you have a US shipping address then have your US fridn bid on your behalf. That would be a way to be able to bid.
