I have a somewhat rare sign on Ebay right now, all of my pictures are at an angle because it was laying on a table at the time of taking the photos. I have multiple photos showing every inch of the sign in great detail...
I just received this message from a Ebay member: "would it be possible to send me clear photos of it taken straight on centered as best you can of both sides instead of at an angle as you have posted?"
Now this could be a totally legitimate message from someone interested (and I replied by just asking for more clarification)... but it also could be from someone just interested in creating a reproduction product from my sign since its nearly impossible to find another image of one.
Just want everyone to be aware and think twice before giving out high resolution pictures of rare pieces, its a good way to prevent some of these non-dated repro's from popping up.

You might very well be right, Bryce. No matter what his story is, his actual agenda could be image theft for repro.

only a LAZY Graphics Artist will ask for Better/Straight on pictures. Most only need a General Layout to re-create any sign/can/globe/etc. Adding Graphics/Text across images just keeps some from using your pictures to sell a like item.
