Ended a summer sign drought recently by bringing home this very scarce embossed beauty for 35% guide value (EX). Acquired through an eBay bid auction.
After unpacking and removing a fair layer of grime, my eleven year old boy commented, "What a doozy! Good pickin' Dad." Almost brought a tear to my eye.... sniffle... chip off the old block.
I set her down in front of the fireplace to look for suitable wall space. After finding none it dawned on me the sign looked damn good there. So I used magnetic strips from the kids' science kits to secure the sign to the insert frame. Gives me plenty of time to find another spot before winter.
A sign guy like me can only live off the smalls and paper for so long. The Hunger is satisfied. For now. ;0)
Dave
That's an awesome sign to find Dave, rare and excellent condition and great price = happy collector!!
Can't get better than that!!
Great picking buddy!!
Ps, love the added subtitles on the Pickers show!!
Thanks Bernie, I see you've got some new old goodies yourself, sweet!
Building a family dynasty Dave. I didn't see this gem, what a great find and price.
Sweet find, perfect spot for it too. Mike and Frank approved LOL:)
Thank you Efan and Trey.
Looks good and I really like your collection. The hey Frankie look @ that coke sign over there..... and they are looking right @ your sign . You must have that show taped lol.
FYI...You know what's crazy the sign is in my 10th edition but not in my 12th edition . That's why I carry both editions when on the road. Nice find for sure.
Thanks C1234, appreciate it. I know you enjoy the nice signs based on a few I've seen you post. I hear you, none of the guides have it all. Petretti does a pretty good job. I even keep a copy of 11th at the office "just in case".
I used to keep a 5th in my office lol.
Beautiful Dave! You're room is really come to life in the last year!
Thanks Perry, good to hear from you. Hope all is well.
Ah, the good old days, C1234. Too risky now.
Good Morning Daddy.....maybe you can answer me a quick question, whats the shelf live of a bottled coke 6 & 6 1/2 oz. bottle. I've always wondered if my full bottles are still favorable and fizzy.
I would say for consumption 1 year.
