Bruce -
I have a basic show board, but it doesn't include the awards.

As for a sign, you can make a nice one yourself like I did. Buyers tend to ignore those professional show car signs, since everyone has them. I went down to my local Michaels Craft store and paid $20 for a big 3'x3' poster frame and made my own display which contained a typed up history of the car and its rarity, magazine features and reduced sized copies of the original documents, close up photos of the vital engine parts and serial numbers like the VIN, engine VIN and trans VIN. And keep in mind, the car was not matching #'s either! For some reason people get happily reassured just seeing a photo, regardless of whether its the original engine or not. On that same sign you can put a note that says "Any questions at the auction call me at XXX-XXXX.
And no that wasn't a home-made tripod - I had a metal oil painting easel that could cause some serous damage to a car if it got knocked over, so I went to Home Depot and bought $5 worth of foam, pipe insulation and covered the metal legs and posts of the easel with it. I had a lot of people at the auction ask about that as well - anything that gets a potential bidder talking with you, is a good thing!
