I don't think Taki had any reason to post a photo with a link of his web site superimposed on it. And I think you've probably noticed that Taki doesn't post very clear photos in his site in general. I mean, for example, have you seen the photo of his pocketsize collection ? Dire to say the least..

Exactly. Why show off your collection so badly when you've got access to better means? All his auction photos are fine. That photo is easy to fake, anyway Andy.

...All his auction photos are fine. Andy. I guess if he made the same money out of his website that he did from his auctions then he'd have better website photos, wouldn't you say? pulse8

Err.. Andy I think this argument proves my point and not yours. Since all the photos in his website are bad, why make an exception and post a good one of the special greenhouse anyway ? Of course he has the means but obviously he doesn't care about the quality of the photos in his site. The photos in his auction are a different matter altogether.

Argument? I don't get into arguments! Anyway......whatever! I'm sure Taki's got loads of super rarities that only he knows about. I know for a fact that he's got some original distributor's catalogues that I've only ever seen once. He beat me to them in an auction years ago. He's very strange. I think the main reason to collect is to show off your collection. Maybe he thinks differently. I know that he's been subject to a lot of envy and bad feeling over the years so maybe that's why he keeps his cards close to his chest. Andy.

Hey relax my friend! :smile: Pieter already asked him about it and he said he owns it. Anyway, Taki was never really interested in displaying his entire collection. I think the main purpose of his site is to sell stuff.

Yeah, but he's so secretive, I'm sure if he were to be more open and approachable, he'd sell more games. Andy.
