Man too much all at once. May drive the price down when there is that much stuff especially if its repo, Maybe !. The first four pages were great to look at though and wish I had those Pontiac signs.

Just to throw something else in here. I had a sign that was completely hammered and I mean hammered, was worth not much. I drilled it hand painted and bondo it. It is a nice looking sign now and yes I do enjoy it and would not be able to afford the real deal. Is this wrong ? I completely understand the way of thinking of just drilling any sign to make it neon, for I think that it actually reduces the valve of an original. My Garage, and my way of bringing that sign back to something that looks good.

Yes..If you're registered with mecuminfonet,like I am,you can see what every single item was sold for,or bid too..including cars. All you do is give them your email addy,and you get on their mailing list,which is really maybe a few emails a year from them touting an upcoming auction.
