I thought most the sign were good to great buys. I loved the dealer sign! Anyway, what did you feel about the citizen 77 sign? 1500 seems very high in my neck of the woods. The hood sign was great too!

The Hood sign is a killer piece...an address with contact info on the guy in Florida would be great lol...I'd think 1k plus on the Citizens sign in that shape...I believe I asked about one at a show and it was over 2k (asking price anyways). The gent in Floriday had a rockin collection.

That was a good episode last night. I saw where it was the seasons final episode, now what, I thought it just started. The reruns take the mystery out of watching. Hope i'm wrong about this. Has anyone ever met or bought and sold anything to Frank or Mike in person?

I think the price on the Citizen's sign was good. It cleaned up on one side to be near mint. Should be worth the $1500 if the other side is as good. Just my opinion, though...Dale

I agree Dale! I liked when Mike said "I'm trying to buy it? Do I gotta sell it too?" because the guy kept saying what will you give me for it? They say they have sold the signs they have found BUT they are all hangin at their shop!

He said he was a Circuit judge and after researching his name on google I believe he is in the Orlando area.

But that show is all stayed for TV.

I went on a plumbing call today. The guy had some cars, trucks etc, around. There was a studebaker rotting out there too. When I crawled under the house to fix the leak, I found several tin windup toys... ...but they were ALL rusted and not much of the original toy was left. As I waited for the glue to set , I looked in the back yard and there were motorcycles...one was like the little indian from pawnstars, but the engine was missing. As far as I know Benelli made those in the 70's for whoever had the licensing for the Indian name. There was a girl who lived up the street when I was young that had one w/ a sidecar and she would ride her dolls around in the sidecar
