I have to say (at least 2cents, maybe more
) I've been collecting for a number of years, and of course I would try to get a deal as much as anybody, but I would pay more than $275 for a sign like that. I absolutely love patina, of all kinds. To me it says I was there, I was in the fight. A lot of the cars I restore are "perfect" but some we do with patina and they look great. I believe there's a market for all types of collectors. Can you possibly make an argument that says if your only collecting so that your stuff will only be worth more money, are you really in love with the hobby, the history, or the money? Maybe...On the flip side, maybe your so in love with the hobby you want to preserve the history with the best examples. One things for sure...at any moment in time, it's only worth what someone will pay...
