IMO -If the guy had lots of signs then he probably knows its not authentic but is hoping to find the perfect buyer.

the repo's usually sell for the $400-$500 range,, doesn't matter whether or not anyone thinks they are worth it but that's what I've seen them selling for for the past 10 yrs.

I stopped at a antique mall outside of Louisville ky went to an air show had several booths idk if this guy had the other signs in the other booths the rest was real but he prob knew its a repop and looking for that sucker to come in it was a nice sign to display but I'd rather put 400 or 500 into another sign that's real
