Actually, it's pretty easy to get exhibit items. However, there isn't any way to predict what the cost will be, or whether there will be a skill check involved. It's easy, but it's risky.
Mask of Vice in COTDPR is VERY overpowered!!

Realistically, how risky. What if you go after them with an investigator with multiple clues. What sort of costs are made (I should probably just wait until I get ahold of my copy rather than asking these sorts of questions)?

No, I find it much more fun just to jump to conclusions 
Ban it, track down every copy of this card and burn them in a ceremony dedicated to the AO of your choice.

And I'm not swayed by the 1 in 22 argument. Now that Exhibit Items have a guaranteed vector, this mask will probably see use quite frequently. And the herald is optional too. I know I will only see him one in every 9 games.
1 in 22 will become 1 in 27 come MH. You can also throw in some old cards from the original CotDP to drop the chances even more.

Yeah... I think I'm probably going to make this mask a banned item along with Call Ancient One ;'D
You should house rule it so that you have to complete "Join the Winning Team" to get it.

what if you could only use the item when you're not at a shop using the special instead-of-an-encounter?
e.g., i can use it:
* on the mythos cards like Estate Sale
* on encounter where you can buy items like the curiosity shop encounter where you can buy either unique or common items
* on other world encounter .. if there are any.
but i cannot use it when drawing cards to buy from general store/curiosity shop/ye olde magic shoppe.
the card will get a lot less potential use, but be not really exploitable at all.
Actually I think I'd rather have it the way it is than to make stores exempt. It would be rendered nearly useless.

useless.. completely unlike the original mask items?
Could this item be combined with the organised crime institution's black market ability that allows common and unique items to be purchased from any street area?
Technically, I cannot think of why it couldn't be. A purchase is a purchase.
