I was somewhat interested in these "mystery Mobil posters", but the bids have got well beyond what I would have been comfortable paying for them. I've never seen anything like these offered in the past, but it's pretty cool that they have been rolled up for 68 years, unused. Ebay item 172420335822
My concerns would be with the 68 year old cardboard stock being rolled so tightly over the years that they may not unroll without damage like tearing/breaking of the paper fibers. Also not having any clue of the artwork would make it hard to part with too much money. If they have Pegasus artwork on them, they could be good, but they could also be "plain" posters advertising Mobil tires or something and not worth much. It's a cool gamble for someone to take though. If an Old Gasser gets them hopefully the mystery will be solved and we'll get to see them in BOTW.
Good luck to the buyer!

Taking a chance is right...there could be nothing but wadding in that tube.Or a note saying order more stock from your jobber.
