deebro041, You could send a private message to a member that has posted on the subject and sounds like they know a fake...send to me if you like I'll give you my thoughts on a given piece....Good of you to not want to out a piece....you're handling it right in my book.

One of the things that are usually tell tale is brownish toning on the back. I'm sure Induced fatigue could be misleading to a novice...especially going by a photo

I think I'm a little slower than some at dismissing stuff...I like to examine carefully before deciding. Especially since that four foot tall Babe Ruth Fro Joy sign on eBay a few years back....that I thought was fake that later turned up in REA and sold for $26,000.00....see it below...it was restored but it's real.

By the way, on that Ken Wel sign...I think I see repros of that sign but there isn't a grommet hole at the top so I'd put a stay of execution until the prosecution can produce more evidence. Grommet hole at the top is a fast way to tell a fake generally.
