Good thing that both signs are poorly executed...readily stand out as fakes.

Question from a newb, can you explain how these are fake? Im not questioning that they are or arent I just want to know what you see that sets off the alarm.

For me the color of the oil is wrong and I don't think they made the outboard sign. Aslo, the T is jsut wrong. Hopefully Black T will jump in here.

The blatant things with the first sign is that it is a fantasy sign and look how crude the Texaco star is. Black back as well.
The blatant thing with the other sign is that it is not a flange sign and the black back.

Just shows there are more and more dishonest people on there You really have to be careful and ask people you can trust about the items
