Pat, I looked for this sign for 27 tears since I began collecting and will always appreciate you selling me one at Iowa Gas last summer. Prior to last summer, I had only seen 1 for sale in Wm Morford's Auction. As much as I tried to win it, the final selling price was beyond my spending limit at the time. The one on Ebay is only the 4th one I have ever seen for sale. They are rare and tough to find. Good luck Kevin in your attempt to purchase the one you missed.

Mike, you're very welcome. I couldn't believe that I found two within two months. Randy, I kept the one I bought in Columbus. Won't be selling it!

I agree....the buyer got a good deal. Probably worth another $1000-$1500 at least. The hardest Mobil shield to find in my opinion.

Ok time to come clean. Kevin and I went in together to buy the sign and had the plan all set. Things didn't go accordingly and we lost it. No biggy life goes on, BUT Kevin was stressing and sick!

Thanks to another oldgasser, whose name i will not mention, was kind enough to offer me the exact sign for my collection. I was able to seal the deal and now have a great wall and conversation piece as well. Years down the road i will be able to laugh and tell the story of the auction gone wrong!!

At the end of the day it is just STUFF. None of it will matter anymore when we are dead and gone but at least we had fun and made good memories. All of us in one way or another will always have "the one that got away".

So thanks to everyone and their support. I speak for Kevin and myself, we appreciate it. Out of this ordeal i have gotten a great friend and mentor.

Thanks
Dan
