Jim: Just for your information, I did not purchase these signs. It was a two day flea market, so I had the luxury of taking the pictures, getting feedback from the forum and then returning the next day to inform the dealer his pieces were repros. In my opinion, this is one of the main reasons a forum of this nature exists in the first place. Unfortunately, I did learn that one other sign he had (Babe Ruth Pipe ad) had been purchased by someone earlier in the day. I don't think I would have bought them before doing some research. I've had great success picking up some nice items at flea markets, and really enjoy the chase. What I have found is that you will find many more sports items overpriced at these events than undervalued.
