Speed part stickers and memorabilia

To protect the rarity of Adam's collection he should leave his decals alone and not reproduce them. If you want something he has or anyone else for that matter make a deal with them and purchase it. Reproducing only hurts the market especially a niche market like original memorabilia.
Creating reproductions would be in self interest which Adam clearly does not have by voicing sentiments in keeping the collection as original as possible.

I agree. There are tons of vintage look alike decals available right. It seems to me what happens is someone repops a huge lot of these things and floods the market with them causing them to become just another sticker available at every Goodguys show or Ebay store or swapmeet. I have drawers full of decals I have bought over the last few years and at one point a lot of them were fairly unique but now are plastered all over the place. Nothing looks worse at a car show than a 60's muscle car with a repop AHRA decal or participant decal and Dakota digital gauges and late model car wheels all sitting on top of a S-10 frame. The 50 model merc I saw last week with Parking permit decals from Auburn University in the 60's was the real deal......
