Copy settei sheets have been around since the Xerox machine. Someone who worked on staff retains their copy, makes copies for friends and then copies are resold. Auction sites like Mandarake make a lot of money each year by selling them.
Maybe if studios sold their production artwork (instead of officially licensed copy settei), collectors wouldn’t feel bad about buying copies from auction sites for less (or maybe the same price for more complete settei). |

Agree with all of the above, in fact there are Japanese fans that trade Settei photocopies. Hey I have a partial YOI Episode 5 set!
Other fan, cool can you make me a copy I’ll make a copy of this Banana Fish set I have. And so on and so forth... |

There's a specific guy on eBay doing this right now, and another with shikishi. Before anyone kneecaps me on the credibility of the site itself, to a novice buyer, this will look legitimate and an incredible opportunity to get some incredible production materials. The second guy advertises original art and autographs from creators at an economical margin, but imo the quality of the drawings is a easy giveaway. Buyer beware.
