Couple different things look wrong to me. Mainly the red border around the sign in question.

I also noticed it doesn't appear to have the four grommets at the bottom either.

We should start taking bets on what these signs will sell for. I'm going with 1200.00 on the fake Shell. I watched the fake Indian motocycle sign for 1500.00 the other night and I was amazed.

It appears the red boarder is a later version. I have the earlier one as Randy posted. Learn something new everyday......

Bryce, thanks for the additional information/links. By the way, are you selling out? Lots of signs for sale on FB.
