Yes, I just saw them. I'm watching to see what they go for. I thought the same about re-strikes etc. Without seeing the back of everyone on offer per set, your taking a chance for sure.

The picture almost makes you think you are getting all the frames, not just the one with 28 badges in it......

there seems to be an example of most of the common restrikes in each frame.

These same badges were offered a couple of weeks ago at Mellors & Kirk Auctioneers in Nottingham. Either they failed to sell there and the "82 year old collector" thinks that there may be more gullible bidders on ebay. Or this ebay seller bought them and is using a variant on the "little old lady brought them in" story.
I have been in contact to advise him that they are virtually all restrikes, he seems convinced that they are worth at least £8 per badge with some being worth at least £100 for individual badges. Oh well good luck to him, what do I know !
