NOTICE THE SELLERS...." IMPLY "....THEY ARE ORIGINALS!..ALWAYS LOOK IN THE "SOLD SECTION" IS THE EASIEST WAY TO AT LEAST BE PRETTY SURE...

On the flip side, I bought a bunch of the under $20 signs for garage art. Not totally accurate but close enough for me.

I have no problem with reproduction signs, in fact I sold some back in the day (with licensing from Chrysler). What gets me as people falsely representing signs to avoid copyright infringement while taking advantage of unsuspecting/uneducated buyers.

I collect a variety of different things. Mostly all original. I enjoy the search and learning about history.

I have been deceived a couple of times, nothing too costly. I am disappointed when that happens, but it is a learning experience for me.

On the whole, I want original stuff and I have a fair amount of it. I also have one of Floyd's RTS signs which I consider one of my better buys,

The current crop of signs I can see a mile away and don't much care for. They are pricey for what you get. But I think a lot of people like them in their shops for atmosphere. They serve a need. And if they fit someone's boat Great.

Me too and it's definitely important. As far as ebay goes, if I see anything under 98% positive I get a little worried.
