Re: Berger Emblems and Plate Frames
 

Do you know why Joe sold the Berger wisk broom for 200,yet paid so much more for these frames?
It just seems unusual,if he's so devoted to owning Berger related memorabilia,by paying so much,why sell it.
Just curious.... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Joe Barr here... (I'm stealing my brother's screen name for a second) I agree these plate frames are tough to find, I have been collecting stuff for a long time and have always known these existed, and never really thought I'd ever see a set, let alone a pair for sale. They are correct 69/70 vintage, and as Dennis Barker noted, they are quite rare. I'm sorry it was Charlie I had to beat out for these, as I have met him and he's a cool guy. I will disagree though that these are not worth the 610 i paid, sure i wish they cost me less, but I could say that for just about any of the 100's of "must-have items" I've purchased over the years. Motown, did you take any pictures of these dozen or so 69/70 cars in junkyards with the silhoutte of berger emblems and plate frames on the rear? Are you saying that some outsider from the east flew out there, found this place, and bought dozens of emblems and Berger frames within the past 2 weeks? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] I'm anxious to see if these actually show up on ebay as predicted. I can assure you it won't be camarojoe as the seller. As for you Charlie, a pic of me on your back bumper would be a much better improvement to your car than any 610.00 license plate frame! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] I got the tracking number for them today, so although the seller won't win any awards for fastest shipping, it does look like i will actually have them in hand within the next week. Maybe the seller was out in Michigan junkyards for the past 2 weeks and didn't get a chance to mail them? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Hope there's no hard feelings, as someone on this board has told me numerous times, when it comes to ebay, all's fair in love and war!

Re: Berger Emblems and Plate Frames
 

I'm fine Joe... Just make sure you bolt them down or they might show up on my Car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img] Or maybe I'll just make sure you always have to pay a bunch for stuff on Ebay like somebody else said he used to do before he knew it was you.

Re: Berger Emblems and Plate Frames
 

Mr70, I sell stuff to buy other stuff. My collection increases by selling off doubles, things i can "live without" and stuff i just don't have any proper way to display. Anyone who's ever been to a Supercar Reunion will attest to the fact that I'm more of a collector than a salesman. I openly admit i make a better buyer than a seller, and usually am on the wrong side of the "profit" equation. Besides, who says Charlie has the only Berger wisk broom out there anyhow?

I am sure if Dennis is reading this thread he will know exactly what yard I am talking about just north of where he lives in a little known place called Gowen, owned by the retired biker pilot.
