I am going to a auction and I would like some input on values of these signs. I want to buy them as an investment and I don't want to pay retail for them.

if the Sinclair is 10 1/2 feet long x 15 inches tall.....

it is worth at least 500.00 in that condition .... IMO

I paid 385.00 for one in worse condition...more faded and a few more chips......they are hard to come by in this size!!!

Figure out what you want to pay & don't get caught up in bidding frenzy

don't believe there is a 12' sign

10 1/2 or 18 and its not 18

there is a smaller one also...I think 9 foot

I wouldn't guarantee somebody telling you it is 'NOT' 10.5 ft long......measure it for yourself!

sure looks 10 1/2 to me.....just like mine!

It's funny...when I use to go to auctions most of the people paying high prices were the 70-80 year old guys...its like they could not hear the price and just kept raising the card.
