HELLLPPPPP Needed and Opinions Appreciated on this Relic!!!

[bwild22]

I just got called to come take a look at an item....well low and behold it is an old scoreboard out of the inside of a bar....it is 8' long and 4' high.... i am kicking the tires on the purchase price...we werent that far off...

anyway, i would GREATLY appreciate your opinions and thoughts on this - both in terms of overall quality and any help with expected value would be appreciated!!!!!

Thanks a lot guys!!! I did think the frame was pretty neat and kind of made the piece...

8 ft x 4 ft...I can see why you're not rushing into it as that's a lot of real estate....architectural....On my monitor it measures about 3 1/2" wide X 1 1/2" tall....so it's kind of hard to fully appreciate....yes it does look cool....but there isn't a lot of important information on it...it'll take a special buyer...a tough sell I think...like I say I can't see it real well but from what I can see even if it were free it looks like something that will be hard to move...But the folk art idea is certainly there....now if you were looking for siding or roofing material!....good luck

thanks for the thoughts...its huge - i was going to probably put it on a wall in my man cave....

however, i offered 600 and they refused....they originally wanted 850 - then went to 750....i walked away.....i told them had it been a standings board with wood slats with teams, or had mlb and team logos on the board, etc then i would have bought it immediately.... it does have a real cool folky look in person - much better than the pictures....but i thought my 600 was more than fair ....i hated to walk away, but i may have to

i figured it would be a great item to sell to a sports bar.... but i do think it'd look cool down in the man cave.... as you can see i continue to kick the tires on it

I think it is to generic. Not worth a lot of money.

It's pretty cool, but I don't think worth anywhere near what they are asking. Probably not as old as you might think too. Room for 24 teams on that board puts it post 1967.

Definitely walk away. IOt is too generic. I wouldn't give a hundred bucks for it.

Completely agree, take a pass

thanks guys, that is exactly what i felt about it being too generic - exactly what i told them too... i offered 600 simply because i thought it would look cool....

i assumed 40s or 50s but 60s might be right - esp when you mentioned # of teams... i think someone custom framed it with an older frame that made it look older too....

i just wish it had actual logos or names, etc... i did think it was cool that the board included the battery for each game...
