I hate to do it, but I can rebuild. I need the money for a business opportunity. Collection is approximately 85 signs. Mostly original, a few reproduction, some typical, some very rare, some bad condition, some excellent condition, just a big mix of what I've accumulated for a long time. Neat Bonneville Salt Flats racing collection, and a pretty good collection of rare VICO signs. The cream of the crop excellent condition 6 foot porcelain Covey Oil "Mobile" Gasoline sign. I can provide pictures for those serious. A few of the signs in the attached pics have already been sold, and a few of them were my dad's and are not for sale. This is not a deal where I am keeping the best. Most of what I'm keeping is reproduction stuff my dad had that has sentimental value more than monetary value. I want to sell the rest in one chunk. All or none. Reasonable estimated value is $50k. I'm asking $45k. Can provide a sign list for those interested. Can also provide pics, and serious buyers are welcome to come see in person. Best way to get in touch is via email at brady@youthfinancialacademy.com. Thanks.

Lots of PM's for individual pieces. I don't want break this apart yet. Might not be the best way to do it from a buyer perspective, but I need to raise some money and I don't want to sell my rare, more valuable items then have to try to sell my more common items one at a time. I know some of my signs aren't the best. I don't want to sell my good stuff and get left with my not-so-good stuff, you know? That won't raise the money I need, and I will be left without all my good stuff and not enough money for my business. That's a lose-lose for me! So, if you only want the Mobile Gasoline sign, it's price is $45k and it comes with 80+ additional signs for free!
I'm taking pictures today so i can get pics out to everyone interested. Thanks guys.

It might be hard to find one man with $45,000 I think, you would be surprised at how many people have $45,000.00 to spend.

Stick to your guns as I agree that there are lots of people with that in their glove compartment, lol.It might take a bit longer, but its better for you in the long run. I wish you nothing but the best in selling it sir.

I agree. Do not let someone come in and "cherry pick" leaving you with having to find individual buyers for every piece left because the package is no longer appealing.

...just a suggestion: it might be helpful to post an itemized list of exactly what is part of this package...
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

...just a suggestion: it might be helpful to post an itemized list of exactly what is part of this package... I have a list that I'm emailing to interested buyers. I intentionally did not post here due to all the debate that would follow regarding the individual prices of 85+ pieces! lol.... It might be hard to find one man with $45,000 Nah... that's minor league money to lots of folks in this hobby. **NOTE** I'm still getting lots of emails saying they read my post and they are interested in one single item. Obviously, they didn't read my post. I'm not parting this out, I'm offering it as an entire collection. To be fair to the buyer, I'm not letting anyone cherry pick items from the group. Thanks.

Michael, Just like ebay, most members here only see what they want to see & don't READ THE DESCRIPTION 1st! It's NO WONDER soo many buy Repops/Fantasy items, THEY ARE NOT READING DESCRIPTIONS.
57CameoGuy, EDIT your 1st post or Delete it.

Look out for the american pickers. Low ball frank's ears are burning. I agree there's plenty of cash floating around for quality signs. good luck
