I like jacket art on A2s, if the art is good, for me the jacket only has to be a 'reasonable' reproduction...I know, I know, it's heresy around here. The art doesn't even have to be a copy of an original. I've purchased 'tribute' jackets and painted a few myself.
But from watching eBay sales over the last year, I've noticed that a reproduction jacket is more difficult to sell and the seller doesn't get as much for them as an unadorned A-2 reproduction.
I'm guessing that's why I was able to pick up a Jerome painted jacket for $ 430.00, which was less than the price of an unpainted Aero jacket.
So my little 'niche' specialty of acquiring repro art A2s is a good thing. :lol:
