For the beer enthusiast or collector of vintage signs, discovering Coors beer signs can be an adventure.When you search for a vintage Coors lighted sign on eBay, there are a few things you may want to consider before making a purchase.

What type of collectible are you looking for?

Whether you're looking for a Coors Light mirror sign, a collectible tin, or something else, the good news is that there is a wealth of collectible items to choose from:

• Vintage Coors lighted sign. You may still see some of these familiar signs hanging in the windows of some bars. Many of these signs have the distinctive Coors name in red neon script.
• Inflatables. If you're searching for something especially rare, promotional inflatable Coors signs may be offered on eBay. These signs were typically made in smaller runs for special events or promotions. And because it's easier to damage an inflatable than it is to damage a metal sign, one of these in great shape is likely to be priced as a valuable Coors sign.
• Sports-related signs. Auto racing and football are two sports connected to Coors light. It often isn't hard to find a low-priced Coors sign paying homage to a stock car driver or football team.
• Unlit signs. While lit Coors Light signs have become somewhat iconic, there are plenty of unlit metal signs regularly offered for sale.

Verifying the age of your potential purchase

Finding out the age of a Coors beer sign adds value to your collection. If you can't find the year of manufacture in the listing, you may need to do some research. However, unless the item is something you intend to resell, you likely don't need to worry about its exact age. Similarly, it may take some digging to verify the rarity of reasonably priced Coors beer signs.

What should you look for in a used Coors sign?

As with any online purchase, it's wise to verify the condition of a Coors banquet sign or another piece of memorabilia before you purchase. Of course, with a vintage item, some amount of wear and tear might be desirable. Here are a few things to check:

• If the item lights up or is mechanical, does it still work?
• If it's metal, is it rusted or bent?
• Is the paint or finish deteriorated?
• Is the item faded from sun exposure?
