Yep sure did LOL.
The gloss was a little odd though.

OK, I will bite ...

Why is this sign so "RARE" compared to the rest of Mobil pump-plates?

Fewer Gas Stations carried this brand?

In my opinion, its one of the rarer plates that Mobil ever used, and I have seen a couple sell at $2500 and another at 4K+. From the appearance of this one, it should clean up pretty well and be worth considerably more than the purchase price. Of course, we may never see it again??

its all a matter of time & place... because so far in the past 12-months I have seen 3 very clean ones sell in a absolute auction format for $1700, $950, & $1400
