To me, an original fender tag, broadcast sheet, factory invoice or window sticker is a unique page of history.

My definitions;

Original - This one is obvious.

Reproduction - An exact copy of the original with NOTHING guessed at.

Fake - Someone had to guess at something to make it, SPDs & VONs are commonly pulled out of thin air as two examples.

The first two do not alter history in any way, the fakes do.

I also believe that any item found should be free to the legal owner of the car. (My definition of legal does not include rebodied cars, I have denied items to folks who have cars with legal issues.)

With over 7000 items here waiting to be claimed for free (even the ones I had to buy), I try & set a good example for everyone.

That is how I feel about it & I am not going to argue with anyone that feels differently, I have better things do do with my time.
