Wow, lots of different opinions, I want to say the reason I dislike Repros are because I collect original antique advertising, to me repros have done nothing but hurt the market, As a Petroliana collector I want original items that were actually used at old gas stations. Compare it to a Cookie Jar collector who hates repro cookie jars, or to a Watch Fob collector who has amassed a huge collection of originals only to have them questioned as to the authenticity because of all the repros made. I don't mean to ruffle feathers but the ones who are all for repros speak in favor of them, So I feel I have the right to speak my thoughts on how much I dislike them.
