I call him Mr. 88 as I first noticed him when his feedback score was that (88), albeit it’s up to 97 now at time of writing.
Often I watch lots of badges on eBay, many out of my league, just out of curiosity and to see where they end up and I noticed said feedback score popping up on items that went big… very big.
He was an underbidder on ‘candarock5455’ EviiiR RHA which caused a furore selling for £395.
Underbidder on the £335 Guards Machine Gun Regiment also discussed in a thread on 12/11.

(… I have 3 of these so if you’re reading Mr. 88 and fancy a spare, call me)
Now the above South Lancs plastic. No it’s not worth what it’s currently at, nor were most of the above.
A new collector on the block perhaps? But certainly a man of means.
And a coincidence that 3 of those badges were the topic of threads on here?
