I'm sorry I taught airbrush techniques to many different trades from signage, cake decorators make-up artist and automotive painters, beside illustration work. I have a collection of publications from the late 1800's till the 1940's.. In all of my reference materials I never heard such a term as "paper signs". Around the world it was called "Ticket Writing" or "Show Cards"... I've seen many companies in England, Australia and the USA who even had full time sign people. Till this day I still see samples around the world in my travels... I'm retired and just hit 70. I also saw many fruit shops and deli's also used shadows to pop out the prices. Again I'm not sure where in the USA you gained your experience.
Misnomers exist in every nation, not just the three you mention. In 1969, I began in the sign business, and I have not quit since. I’m 67, so you and I are of the same generation. Baby Boomers. At no time during my professional career has a paper sign been regarded by schooled practitioners as either a “price ticket” or a “show card,.” It’s a misconception, and it is spread by uninformed or misinformed individuals. I’m not saying this in a pejorative sense. I am simply stating that what you were told is/was dead wrong. In the trade, we use specific terms, and a *paper sign* is exactly what its name suggests. It’s on paper. Paper can be rolled or folded because it is not rigid, like card stock. A card sign, by comparison is always on a stiff substrate. Poster board or mat board, for example.

I hope viewers realize what a historical jem this video is. Thank you for sharing those skills.
Lol 😂 "This is not Trader Joe's!" I'm a sign maker at Trader Joe's. This is a fantastic video. Thumbs up 👍 with love ❤️
Love the culture comments and history infusion!
1-Shot Art and Sign Poster Color. Comes in a can with a white label. It's not the same as lettering enamel. It dries flat.
Loved this no BS straight to it,wish he'd come through Baltimore.
very educative 30 mins of my life, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it, Tomáš.

what's left of my head just exploded in delight
We are glad you enjoyed it.
Does anyone know what type of paint that is ? Tempera?
Hey Robert, we used One Shot Poster Enamel.
Where/when are these classes?
It was a special event, held at the Los Angeles Trade Tech College.
