INSANE Collecting

Over the past few months the AAA Safety Patrol Badge collecting on ebay has gone insane. People are paying 200-300 and even 400% over the actual collecting value of the badge. I've watched a 1980's China -Made badge sell for $48 when the collecting value for resale is only $15-20. Then we have people wanting to sell  their China Made square backed Sergeant badges for $300. As I've said in the past, I will help anyone who asks for advice. You may not like the answers if you paid too much for something and find out it's worth much, much less. This month , there is a great collection being sold individually with some great deals on 1920's, 1930's and 40-50's badges. Get them while they're selling. Here is the May REF and Price Guide. 

COUNTERFEIT BADGES FOUND ON EBAY

BEWARE

Phony badges supposingly from the 1930's , oval backing WITHOUT GRAMMES, ALLENTOWN PA stamped on them. These are brand new badges and have no collectors value except as a copy of an original. Unless they say GRAMMES, ALLENTOWN PA they are counterfeit. The luster suggest they are being counterfeited overseas, China or Taiwan.
