If you try and ask the seller a question you get the following response from Ebay:

At first my naive eyes thought this one had a chance of being legit. But the Sinclair collectibles book shows this sign twice and both times it shows 4 holes. And the size is wrong at 8 3/8". It only came in 11, 16, & 24". This according to the book.

Educate yourself by looking at the books and catalogues and then comparing this sign to them. The color and graphics are wrong among other things. The more you look and compare, the easier it gets to nail some fakes. Others take a little more work.
