Default Buyers Beware !

Just saw a new batch of poppies for sale , there is 2007 and 2008 with a starting bid of £50 being asked for each. OK they may be genuine but I doubt it because there is also " Remembrance Day Poppy pin 2016 somme & Passchendaele pin" being offered together with a starting bid of £24.99 being asked for the pair.

The mistake the seller has made (apart from claiming they are "from my own collection of poppy pins") is to include photos of the backs of the pins.

Compare them with my originals , if these 2 are obviously junk then I doubt the other dates ones are any good.
