So back in March I stopped by my buddys place and he gave me two pump plates for my collection.At the time he told me he had more up in the attic,they were all from his dads stations and remembered them in the bulk warehouse.So I got back out there last night and asked if he could get the rest of the signs down to get a look at.I almost died when he came down the ladder with a handfull.LOL Just thought I'd share the pic and that there is plenty of stuff still out there and to keep on hunting.
Enjoy

Randy thats exactly what I told him I thought they were worth in todays market to the right collector.I did'nt go out there to buy them,just to let him know what they were worth and not to give them to anyone.I just didn't know that he had that many.I'll try to post some of the back sides latter.They are the real deal no repos.

Just to make it clear I did not buy these,a friend of the family had them and is not a collector.His father owned stations in the area and these came out of the bulk plant.He gave me one of each back in March and I did not know he had this many.I am going to try to sell them for him or with him as a group hopefully.I'm not reciving a dime,just helping a guy out.There worth WAY more than 10K I don't think they lost half there value in a year,not according to the offers I'm getting.Again it was just awesome to be part of finding them,and that there's great stuff still out there to be found.
