Saw a large joblot of mainly charity pins and partially hidden in the middle of them was ...........a
2006 poppy pin.
There were no bids yet and there was "make an offer" , so offer /counter offer/accepted/deal done. Got the lot for £20.00
Next day the seller sent a message , another buyer who had just missed out had sent him multiple messages wanting him to ask if I would consider selling the poppy as he wanted it for his "son's collection".
Seller told me he checked out the other buyer and he was a badge dealer !
Now all I need to do is find 2007 and 2008 pins.
