This is the actual photo used on the auction, posted by the seller:

This is a mirror of that photo, just in case. I have not altered it in any way:

This is a photo of the item as I received it:

This is the description, taken directly from the auction page:

Here is a nice piece to add to your Mountain Dew advertising collection. It is a license plate. It is 12" long & 6" wide. It's the older logo. I believe it's from the 1980's. Good condition with light edge rust, not bad at all. Please email me with any questions you may have. Buyer to pay actual shipping costs, and $1.00 Handling fee. Buyer can pay by Paypal, Money Orders, Cashiers Checks. Insurance is optional. Please check out my other auctions. Thanks for looking.


Notice that the seller stated:

"Here is a nice piece"
"Good condition with light edge rust"
"not bad at all"

I disagree with the sellers description, and do not believe that his photo accuarately represented the actual merchandise. If you look closely at the photos, you'll see that the seller's photo shows a small chip of green paint missing from the leading edge of the letter "M", but the actual plate I received has no such missing paint chip. However my plate has a paint chip missing from the letter "o", and a much larger chip missing from the bottom green border, right between the letters "D" and "E". It's quite obvious to me that the seller photographed a better item, but shipped me one in worse condition than advertised.
