I wouldn't pay more than what the base sign is worth. A grade 7.5 sign remains a 7.5 sign whether it's restored or not. In my books; it's the grade alone that determines value. ...EXACTLY...I don't buy restored signs either...my example was based on what someone who buys restored signs should expect to pay...and I don't think most sign restorations are done to save the sign, so much as ease the sign owner's mind about the damage that they can't 'unsee'...
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

I agree Mark. I had five large Sunbeam Bread signs, I kept the one I thought was the best because of the gloss of the paint. I put it on the wall in a place I would enjoy it everyday. After I hung it the nail hole in the slice of bread at the end of the loaf kept bugging me. That is all I would see every time I walked in the room. Still a great sign, later I found another sign but a different version. I took the one with the nail hole down and put it up in another room that I don't use as much, and put the new one in its place. I eased my mind.
