Interest Blade Runner ID Card from Earl Hays Press

Hi,
thank you very much for the kind words The Sweatshop, means a lot for my work, thank you!

I'm clearly not going to validate anything of course, that being said, PropsToHistory, you are very welcome to discuss with me at any time for anything for those badges, my point since the begining pointing out the corners should be glued and everything is really to help achieve the best result and share my experience on those if possible :) don't hesitate if you feel I can help, I am completely open to it :)

I want to address something positive about this run already, and show that research has been done here in case a few people are not aware of the original Declard badge and references that are available. There has been a little conversation above about the photo that is being used, and I want to say that those are perfect, we have never seen photos of the real badge like we have for the James Jacobson, however, the Deckard badge is seen in the movie two times and althouth the badge is really small, we see clearly the layout of the ID photo from Deckard, and Earl Hays and PropsToHistory clearly did their homework there and what they created is a very good match to what we see on screen :)

here is a comparison with a straighten up screen shot of the badge and the first prototype from Earl Hays:

Is that screenshot in the wallet? Is it safe to assume Deckard’s ID did NOT have the clip attached / hole punched for the clip? Sorry if I missed any previous debate/discussion on this, I have never heard definitively if they clip was visible or not. Doesn’t appear to be present here.

Yeah, in the movie we just see him flashing his wallet both times, so it's pretty safe to assume he has no clip attached. No real way to know if there is still a hole for the clip or no though.
 
To be clear, I’m not hoarding nor selling the second badge. One is for myself the other for my best friend, who isn’t on here often but would love one. Kindly don’t lump me into any association with hoarding or gouging.
 
Hah - I did! "alienscollection.com" was two decades old at this point... I thought I signed up, but not sure if I'm on the list...
It’s going to be hard remembering who you were, and that makes me not like name changes, lol. I will most likely think I’m talking to someone new. :lol:
 
I can't believe I missed this one as well! Definitely going to keep an eye out for the public run when that is available for sure. This is definitely in awesome piece to have in the collection!
 
LIST IS CLOSED

I've been working with the legendary prop house Earl Hays Press for the past year, cataloging and archiving the 107 years of film history that exists within their warehouses.

Among the items found were the original "cuts" (printing blocks) used to make the Deckard ID and every other ID card for "BLADE RUNNER" .

Recently Tested came to Earl Hays Press and Adam Savage and I walked through the process used to make these props, using the original machines from the period that are still in use at Earl Hays.


The folks at Earl Hays, after seeing the response to that and the other videos from Tested filmed in the warehouse, have decided to make a limited number of those ID cards available to the public.

And after some talks with them, they've agreed to open the availability of some of them to RPF members before they're made available to the public.

These are all made by hand, as is shown in the video with Adam. Same process, same machines.

EHP has yet to determine pricing, and the total number made will be based on available material. Which they're in the process of calculating.

If interested, post below to let EHP know how many to open up to RPF members.

These will go for sale probably by the end of the month.


EDIT: Earl Hays, after figuring out costs and material availability has decided to release the initial group of them here on the RPF.

Each of these is hand made, on the same printing press and cutting machine as the originals. These are also printed on the same type of paper stock as the originals.

The price through the RPF is $200.00 US.

50 are being made available at this price.

As this post began before a price was known please re affirm interest or income start a completely new thread
