I just took a look at the back looks like it may be painted over over a defect ????? It's true that the seller states that it is single sided, BUT...look at the last photo. A picture can speak 1000 words....This sign was painted over at some point. All the paint came off in 10 minutes with a little paint stripper. The back side is better than the side shown.

so you bought it Dennis? I'd say if its double sided its legit... the fakes I have seen of that sign are usually a much brighter shade of blue

The top original sign, all blue with white lettering was also re-popped by VC Signs (Vintage Concepts). I have a double sided that looks like the original above dated 4-00 VC Signs.
