Enormous display sign advertising Pinch Hit tobacco. The piece is positively enormous framed to a full five feet long by 30" high! THe graphics are tremendous very bold and clearly baseball-oriented. Our research indicates that the piece is printed on thin paper though the frame is very heavy and sturdy. Creasing and surface abrasions are visible on the piece though they do not distract from the outstanding visual appeal of the sign. While the frame obviously prevents us from examining the edges and reverse the piece is striking and incredibly aesthetically appealing one of the finest of the large-size advertising display items we have handled. It should be noted that the piece is significantly bulky and heavy; the winning bidder can certainly save on shipping by picking the item up at our New Jersey office (we cannot deliver this sign or bring it to a card show for pickup; it is simply too large and unwieldy) however bidders unable to pick the item up should anticipate substantial shipping charges via UPS. A remarkably striking advertising display item.
