There is but not for much money.

And usually only when they are of the die cut variety. Not much call for the ordinary flat plastics.
Still looking for that Union 76 ball
And I collect big old porcelain neon signs

If that's a complete surface mount with a working light inside, it'll sell for $100-$150 all day long. IMO $50 is a steal.

What era would this be from?..it looks like a 1970's design,but shines like a 1990's release.

I AGREE....DIE-CUT EMBOSSED LIGHT-UP SIGNS 3' OR SMALLER ARE COLLECTIBLE SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY LOOK GREAT LIT UP AND WILL ENHANCE ANY GARAGE OR MAN-CAVE!

I think that sign is a 2000's sign. I have just started seeing that style on new Phillips 66 stations in this area and yes I would give 50.00 for it any day. I sell the slightly older square ones for 150.00 to 175.00.

Sunoco light-up signs, $300+, Gulf light-up $250+, Esso $250+, Sinclair trapazoid $400+, rectangular $250+, Shell 34x34 with letters on clamshell - $325+, Chervon $125+, Texaco $125+ I have not seen one of these Phillips for less than $250. I would say there is a little money in these plastic light-up canopy signs. I have several on the side of my garage and they look great at night. Brady
