I just bid on one - two problems though -

will my wife let me hang it in the house?

will visiting hikers think I stole it?

LOL... I had this conversation with my husband yesterday after I told him I bid on a sign. He said, "You realize that everyone is going to think you ripped it off a tree, right?"

Re: They'll think I stole it, that crossed my mind also. I wonder if the RMC issues a Letter of Thanks or Authentication that could be hung with the sign ?

I am the proud owner of an old RMC sign that reads, simply, "Toilet" with an arrow pointing to the right. I get lots of strange looks (of course, it may not be related to the sign) but no one has ever accused me of stealing it! (For the record, I won it in a previous auction.)

And since I'm single, I don't have to ask a spouse if I can hang it in the house!

Now by doing this they are making them valuable, that will open a can of worms. People will start stealing em, n posting em on e-bay. Do we really need this?

The RMC and the AMC have been doing this for many years. People have wondered if it would encourage stealing of trail signs, but I haven't seen any evidence of it so far.

They've always been valuable, but fortunately the people who value them wouldn't steal them or buy them from non-trusted sources so far.
