Default interesting "rare" badges at auction

Yet again "reputable" auction sites are coming up with some very unusual badges

I would not say either rare or interesting, but, spurious certainly.

I might contact the seller and ask for the Euromillions numbers for Friday. They obviously have the power of foresight and knew the SCLI would come into being. Even if their badge is 57 years too early at least.

This is disgusting!
Anybody with even the smallest amount of knowledge regarding badges would be able to see this is made up cr*p! And there definitely would be someone in that auction house that has knowledge of some sort, they obviously have no scruples, and could not care less, really bad, and sad to see.
