Those are the real deal! They are silk screened and much better than anything else you can buy. The "licensed reproductions" are nice but are most likely not silk screened being that you would need to order 100's to make a run of them.

Adhesive is old, vinyl is brittle, the edges look stained/dirty. would you put these on your car? or just a collectors item? I dont see the orig box.

I would challenge anyone to show me the difference between screened and modern ink jet on vinyl. I have seen and used many of the reproduction decal kits on restorations and you cannot tell the difference.

The indy 500 Nascrap?

SORRY! BIG difference! Most of the "modern" inks are what is called "eco-solve" and are nothing more than water based inks. You can thank the VOC laws for that. At best good for 3 to 5 years if laminated (2 without lamination). If you are lucky enough to find someone using a "mild-solve" ink you will get a couple more years, BUT nothing will last as long as true solvent based silk screened.

I am happy to report that PartsRack DID invest the expensive way, silk-screened authentic-look licensed reproductions, not lazer-jet or digital repros.

We had to absorb the $$ of a larger run as well as dual licensing to make the few sets we have available. (maybe Im stupid, but Im a Pace Car fanatic....)

As the linked photo shows, the waffling due to shrinking clearly appears on the set offered. If you don't get these apparent originals, PartsRack has a high-quality, brand-new, licensed reproductions, that can also include some authentic, NOS Indy-500 pin / driving patch extras, under $350.
