I have a really cool pair of vintage wooden d*ck Pope Jr skis from Cypress Gardens that my sister found for me on Ebay. Problem is, they need a little bit of repair work. They have the original decals on them, and in order to repair the wood I will probably have to remove them.
I don't even know where to start to look for replacements, anyone have any ideas? The decals look like this:

Your best bet is to find a vinyl sign shop that can copy the originals before you remove them.

Rather than trying to have new decals made, you may want to just keep watching ebay. They come up pretty often on there and I've picked a couple up REALLY cheap.
Funny thing about the d*ck Pope skis around the lake house is that an older guest was at the house is recognized the name. She didn't realize the fame that followed the name, but her brother lived near Cypress Gardens many years ago and she actually skied with the Popes. She remembered them as friends of her brothers and was pretty taken aback by their fame. It's pretty funny how famous people are just regular folks to their friends. |

Yeah, they're the best riding skis I've ever been on, like riding butter. My dad had 5 or 6 pairs that we learned on growing up and as soon as I got my boat last summer my sister went on ebay and found a pair. They're in pretty good shape for the most part, there's just one spot where the woods starting to pull apart so they need a little love. The vinyl shops a good idea, thanks Chris.
