look at what all the other kinds of old sighns go for these days...big money, I think the seller should ask a heck of alot more than 20 for a one and only item like this..just because some passed on it at 20 or what ever dont mean diddly.

If the sighn was displayed at a proper auction with the normal hype it would bring the money.

I would have to agree with Bud on this call... This is the only Motion sign out there and it should bring good money... Im no a buyer for such an item but I have to ask https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...-I-Have-It.gif

Re: vintage Motion Photos
 

On a serious note. It should be mentioned that the sign as it is today when thru a lot of hard work to get it back to working condition. Whether that justify that much of a markup is beyond me. But I would say it is fair to ask some sort of premium over the purchase price considering the amount of effort that went into restoring it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

absolutly, no bootlegs.
I spoke to Joel about all the bogus Motion items on eBay a couple years back when he was still selling the original style Motion t-shirts. Oddly it didn't seem to bother him, very mellow. I don't know if the current partners would be as relaxed. I wonder how much of the old stuff (signs,logos) is trademarked or copyrighted. These guys on Ebay don't seem to have any fear in what they sell.
I myself do not have the space or the time for any new ventures, but am always looking to add to my classic T-shirt collection if they were made.

Nice

Signs
 

Didn't you see the sign?

FLETCH
Signs? I see nothing but signs.
Stressed out dormants on the windows.
Walls deplaning to an alarming degree.
This place is obviously infected by
reticulitermes flanipes.

DEPUTY
What's that?

FLETCH
Deadly African microscopic termites.
They can eat a hundred times their
own weight in five minutes...much like yourself from
the looks of things...
(stomping the floor)
...this place is ready to collapse!

DEPUTY
Who are you?

FLETCH
Brummel. Beau Brummel. Beau Bob Brummel...
Bugbusters. My truck's on the street.

Re: vintage Motion Photos
