Title: Re: Policeman next to Vendo 81 Post by: bcharlton on October 24, 2011, 11:04:36 am I was "junking over the weekend and came across a Policeman like that one in the picture. The guy wanted $2200 for it. Is that even close to the going rate?
BC Title: Re: Policeman next to Vendo 81 Post by: Funtronics on October 24, 2011, 01:08:43 pm Depends on if it was original and the condtion. One that is in original condition and is a 9 or better with original base can bring 2,500 and on up.
Title: Re: Policeman next to Vendo 81 Post by: SIGNGUY on October 24, 2011, 01:51:30 pm Yes,
but like all signs, they have suffered on value, but condition is everything.. there is a guy at Chicago the last few shows who has one for 3200 it's a pretty nice originall, but high I think, however 8 or so years ago, i new of one that sold in the Gary Metz Auction for $7200 it was new old stock in original box... Title: Re: Policeman next to Vendo 81 Post by: Kilroy on October 24, 2011, 02:28:02 pm So how does one twell if it's a repro, i know someone was making them in the 80's/90's.. One is on my wish list, but to far down the priorites
Title: Re: Policeman next to Vendo 81 Post by: cokecolaman on October 24, 2011, 03:03:14 pm I think the back is different and the base is different also...I think the back is blank on the repops..
Title: Re: Policeman next to Vendo 81 Post by: Funtronics on October 24, 2011, 03:20:20 pm The backs are blank on the repos. Also the originals are usually dated at the bottom right corner.
Title: Re: Policeman next to Vendo 81 Post by: SIGNGUY on October 24, 2011, 04:07:20 pm Yes as stated,
Backs are blank and don't have the reflective paint on them.. also originals are dated and repops are not.. side by side, its' easy to see, but if stand alone, it can be hard unless you konw what to look for... |
