OK, that makes sense - I thought you intended to use them yourself. If you are going to eBay them, it would be nice to know, but you are probably going to have a lot of trouble verifying the originality of the decals. I remember a few years ago a list member made some repro TA crankarm decals that were so good that a shop owner on the list who sold the original TA decals recommended buying the repros instead as they were a much better value. Needless to say, I bought the repros.
