Default Re: Berger Emblems and Plate Frames

If you take the price the plate frame just went for on Ebay and multiply it, then take the going rate of the emblems and multiply it, the figure comes out an easy $6000. I would have to guess that whoever bought all these made a circle around Grand Rapids to all the salvage yards and did quite well. Considering Berger has been selling cars in this area since the sixties and maybe earlier, I dont find it odd that the yards that dont scrap all the old stuff would have an abundance of these items. I wish I had gone hunting when I planned to do so right after the plate frame sold on Ebay, then I would have had the pick of the 400 acres of cars in that one particular yard I went to, which I happened to be going to for other parts and thought I would check while I was there. I notice you are from the east, so was it you that made this excursion? I am sure that if the person who did make the trip was reading this they wouldnt like it much that I disclosed the price they paid considering the return it will bring. The stuff is bound to turn up on Ebay soon. We will all just have to wait and see who the seller is. Somebody beat me to it, so what, I'll live. I am sure this type of thing has been done in other areas sooner, like in PA around the area Yenko was?
