Default Correct 1968 GTO Jacking Decals

I have been working with my graphics guy to more correctly reproduce the 1968 jacking instructions. In my opinion, the reproductions currently available are not even close to all the original decals I have seen and photographed through the years. The big errors are things like squared-off corners instead of rounded corners, the wrong fonts and spacing, the wrong wording, and incorrect graphics. My graphics guy has tried to as close as possible match the fonts and spacing, and also has the correct wording showing the valve stem in the down position, just like all the known originals I have photographed. I'm not saying my reproductions are perfect, but they are 10 times better than the current reproductions. I scanned one of my decals, but it is hard to see the die-cut rounded corners. I was wanting to try to sell some of these, as I have a considerable amount of money in the artwork. I was wanting to sell them for $15 each shipped to your door. That is only slightly more than the current reproductions. I would also like to get some feedback on them from purchasers. Here are some photos of an original, my repro stuck next to a really old poor reproduction from almost 30 years ago.
