First of all thanks for the pics...now down to business. Was the Ace High sign laying on the ground in picture #29 real or a repop? If real does anyone know who the seller was?

Thanks

I agree looked very odd. There was a ton of JUNK/fantasy items there. One guy had a table outside full of fake jars and signs on the ground.

are you talking about the guy in the grass towards the end? cause I noticed that too. Its one thing to be offering only repros, but its another to mix them in with originals in an attempt to mislead someone.

Steve,
"Big Mike" is a member on here. Goes by "Mikeschwabsigns" on Oldgas. Hasn't been on since July, but his contact info is in his profile. Also, he's another Michigander, spends summers in Ionia and winters in Bushnell, Fla. Hope this helps.
