I pretty sure this sign is reproduction, but why is it selling for that much money?.. Or is it a case of bidders thinking it is original..

Yes it is a brand new sign,,, reason the bidding is high, some people like that sign,,, an original one is $10,000... makes this one cheap don't you think ?
This comment will get some crazy reaction from some of the experts on here,, and die-hards, lol, lol, lol,

I agree Wes but I wish it was marked as a repro.

I've never really looked into it, but can't you buy brand new reproduction signs like this for 1/3 of that price.

yes you can if it were in a store downtown with the rest of the competition,,, but this is an auction... that's the difference.. what ever the traffic will bare.. all auctions are the same,,, repro signs etc.in auctions always bring more money than there worth... fact of life.. always has, always will be..
If your going to be a buyer, be educated....
