Posted by Express Rider on Thu Oct 18 07:41:11 2018, in response to Re: [PHOTOS] R-11's - Before and After, posted by Bill Newkirk on Thu Oct 18 07:35:05 2018. I remember hearing about one of the first tag sales mid-late 80's?Read the ad in the NYT, I drove down from Boston for it. Borrowed cash from a friend to spend. I think it was on a Sat. or Sun. The porcelaine pillar signs were $$ but affordable - I bought a Continental Ave. and a Queens Plaza, and I think a rolled up station map (if not Vignelli, then one of the first modern route maps with colors) I remember there was a "feeding frenzy" for the porcelaine signs that said "F Trains to Church Avenue" and the few that were there went in minutes. The large porcelaine signs on the street entrances went for mega bucks - far beyond my budget. |
