No mate some bored Greek lads

They are the Bulgarians - they seem to move around and sell from different countries on eBay - Bulgaria, France, Cyrus and now Greece is their latest location.

I guess they think moving around locations adds legitimacy to the rubbish they are peddling.

There have been some on eBay recently. It is worrying, isn't it.

Hopefully they won't get any better so what I think are the worrying points, which should probably not be mentioned on this forum, they will be identifiable. It is important, though, that collectors are alert to the fact that they have been faked.

I think that we are all worried that Australian insignia are going to be faked in the same comprehensive way that Brit badges have been... doing enormous damage to the the Australian market and to collections as well..

I think that identifying them and weeding them out (making sure that everyone knows about each one) is about all we can do.

Keep fighting the good fight Lads!
