$11 a sheet beats the heck out of $25 a sheet I paid.

I didn't need nor want 10 sheets though.

This is strange.

Look for a industrial supply house in your area that sells plastic sheets to local companies (its Piedmont Plastics in the upstate SC area). They are a lot cheaper than the sign places.

Currently listed as ship to store for zero shipping cost. If you like this price - 10 sheets for $110 - grab it now.

I've been watching the (non) availability of this at Home Depot for a year or more. It's web only, not stocked in stores. Often out of stock via web, so simply not available. Then I once found it available but ship to home only, for $55 shipping cost.

Currently listed as ship to store for zero shipping cost. Not bad if the price and qty work for you.

From reading on line reciews - apparently it's black on one side and white on the other. Several mentioned the picture isn't correct re color.

I got mine from home depot. The reason I went for it was that I got free shipping. But, they use a really crappy shipping company. It took like 3 weeks and ended up at the wrong house. Plus, some of the sheets weren't in the best of shape. So I would get it somewhere else unless you get site to store shipping. $110 was a really good price for 10 sheets though.

They also come black on one side and white on the other. Just a heads up.
