Scored Big this Time

I found this on Craigslist last week. I was at worked when I saw it. I didn't even say a word. I got up and left the building in order to get to it before anyone else could. In the end I wound up buying the entire collection of signs from the collectors son. 25 in all. I am keeping this sign and one other for my collection and I sold the rest.

It was a tremendous score. I have been looking for an Oldsmobile sign like this for quite some time now and in the end I got it for free.
I sold everything but the Oldsmobile sign and a Napa shocks sign and regained my initial investment. Sweet

I've been collecting signs, Coke machines, vending machines etc for over 30 years now. It's one of my many passions.
If you can, please show us some pictures of your collection.
Thanks
