I was helping a buddy of mine tear down and old house on his land. Underneath the floor boards was a Ted Williams Creamy Root Beer SIGN, but wait the catch is that it is autographed to Don Best Always Ted Williams. The sign was wrapped up in newspapers from late 1960s not sure if sign is real but the autograph has already been authenticated. I will post pic soon. If anyone is interested in this sign please feel free to make an offer. Thanks

Doug

Did quick research on this found this but don't know how long ago it was...
A 1950s 20" x 30" Ted Williams 'Creamy Root Beer' cardboard advertising sign - complete with its original easel display stand - recently sold for $4620. This price was probably further inflated by its baseball connection - the sign shows Williams squaring up to a hit another root beer inspired home run!

an here is a unsigned on for 10,000.00

Need to see a picture of that. There are many reproductions of that sign from the 1980's. The 60's newspapers don't really help date it. The original was from 1950's and cardboard, reproductions were tin. Let's see what you got.
