Did anyone else notice that this years Joecon Brazil II set had very pixelated filecard artwork?
I emailed the club that put out the figures and they acted like this was the first they heard about it. I always enjoy collecting the filecards from the exclusive sets and this year was no exception. I was miffed at the heavily pixelated artwork on the file cards however. It looked like someone had their photoshop settings goofed up which probably caused it. There is no way to be sure. The club people informed me everything is done in China so who knows. Did anyone else notice this or perhaps I was sold some bootlegs. Please help! Thanks!

Yeah... I shelled out a good bill on my Cobra de Aco and his filecard looks like it was made by a freshman graphic designer.

Ok so it wasn't my imagination. I was taking it personal! I really am surprised now because the collector club seemed totally ignorant of the situation. According to their email, I was the first to bring this to their attention. So much for quality control.
I know if it was a PDF document, in the print settings, there is a image file compression feature. If you are not careful, you can compress image files and it will funk it all up. You must be sure to check the uncompressed designator. Really a shame because the card art looked like it was going to be awesome. For $350+ bucks I shelled out, I was hoping for the best money could but but instead I got a box of shoe.

I was gonna contact them about this, too. I'm hoping they'll reprint them with corrected art in the club magazine.
