<< < just FYI. If anyone out there is looking for Reynolds frame and fork decals, There are some being offered on Ebay and the seller says she will have Columbus decals also. These are the "water slide" decals. The Ebay item number is 3685829071. >>

Genuine Reynolds decals are not water slide. This could mean: 1. They are not genuine or 2. The seller is confused as to what she/he has to sell.. In either case, caveat emptor. >>

More...I looked at this auction just out of curiosity and notice that these appear to be current issue reproduction decals. Note the three pieces of paper/cardboard associated with the decal. This is very typical of a certain maker of very fine but new repro decals.

The seller says "NOS" so these are old stock? How old? 30 days? 6 months?

The seller says: "They are the original thin water transfer decals." They are THE original thin water transfer? As far as I know (pretty far!) Reynolds only made varnish transfer (earlier) and peel and stick (later) versions.

This is the kind of sneaky, truth evading, slimy sellers that irritate me. I hope he/she is not a CR member....
