    Another eBay winner

    I know these are getting kind of old, but here's a fun one. The auction is for an "NOS" GM certification label for '69 - '74. Take a close look at the spelling of the word "standards". I didn't realize they spelled it "standerds" back in the early '70s.

    For even more fun, check out auction #4502586781. Same sticker (same mis-spelling), same seller, posted at almost the same time, but this one for Oldsmobile and Buick. The "Corvette" version has bid up to $71 at this writing, the Buick version has only bid up to $31. I always suspected that saying "Corvette" made the parts more expensive. :-)

    Those cert labels are in all of my Camaro resto parts supplier catalogs for $10.00, including the clear overlay, but on eBay, they're "RARE, RARE, L@@K, L@@K", and the uninformed bidders go bananas

      With the same mis-spelling for "Standard"?

        Jon - You're absolutely correct. If it says "Corvette' or " '67 Corvette," LET THE BUYER BEWARE. Obvious problem in the "old" days, no spell checker!!!!!!!!!!! Pete

          Can't believe those bidders haven't picked up on that mispelling! WOW!
