Do you guys think the value of these signs will increase over time? I’m curious about investing in a few more pieces but uncertain about the market.

While I hope the value goes up, the market can be unpredictable. However, if you love your collection, that’s what truly matters!
I’ve been collecting vintage Champion spark plug signs for years! For restoration, I recommend using a gentle soap and water mixture. Avoid harsh chemicals to keep the original paint intact.
That’s awesome! Do you have any tips on how to display them without damaging the signs?

Using soft cloths to clean and polish the signs is great. For display, I recommend mounting them with spacers to create depth. It makes a man cave pop!
I’ve also heard that acrylic display cases work well to protect them from dust. Anyone tried that?
I’ve used acrylic cases before; they work really well! Just make sure they’re UV-protected to prevent fading over time.
In my man cave, I’ve arranged them by theme with some vintage motors and tools! It creates a nice ambiance, don’t you think?
That sounds great! Any tips on lighting to enhance the display?
Consider using LED strip lights around the edges of the display area. They provide a nice glow without heat that damages the signs.

I like to mix in some fun paraphernalia, like old racing memorabilia, to keep it lively! It really attracts attention.
Sounds like a cool setup, johnpacheco! Just hope it doesn’t get too cluttered. Balance is key, right?
