Based on what I read and saw in the linked .pdf, actionseller99, AKA Jim Shipman of Outlaw Press may be someone to avoid on Ebay. Not that he screws buyers out of their money or doesnt ship merchandise, but apparently he has been using artwork in his products that isnt his to use.I dont know about anything other than what I read, but if this is truth, the guy deserves zero support from me. If anyone else affliliated with the industry knows anything more about this I would be interested to hear it.

Mars wrote:Not a big surprise. I think all of the Outlaw press stuff is reproductions but Jim does have a number of original items as well (probably what he makes copies from). A number of his items were produced without permission so its not too surprising that the cover art used for others are used without permission as well.
