And lot 72, repro badges, over £2000.

I find it unbelievable that reputable auction houses like this will even sell repro badges. Where are their ethics? They keep their consciences clear by making sure they are listed as repros. Hypocrites!!!!

Just looking at the photo of the pile of badges an RASC shoulder title is visible, surely this is not a repro or are the fakers that desperate for insignia to fake?

I just can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would want to take up the hobby these days. The evidence is there for all to see. It's all become a money-making racket with devious scumbags churning out this cheap tat and robbing the unsuspecting public of their dosh, aided and abetted by so-called reputable auction houses who clearly could'nt give a toss. What with all the dodgy dealers conning people left, right and centre and the supposedly honest ones who often ask the most ridiculously over-the-top prices, it's a wonder there are any collectors left at all.
