Guest The Driffter Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 saw a Wigan Casino 1st anniversary cloth badge sell on ebay on saturday for £205 is this a genuine sale ?? anyone heard of a bigger price for these anniversary badges. from The Driffter
Guest toby Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 No one was more suprised than the seller JON BUCK,he was flabergasted over this. When he put it up last Saturday it went to £165.00 within the first 2 hours or so,he kept calling me up and asking if he had made a mistake,and was there something he should know on this item. Jon has put up numerous patches/badges up for sale recently all of whom are original items,that had been stored away for more years than he can remember,i know he called me and felt guilty about the cost of such an item,he called the buyer who was genuine just to confirm it was'nt a wind up. Good luck on Jon's part he needed a bit of luck of late,he's one person on our soul scene who in my opinion who would never try and have anybody over,a good bloke.. (now wheres the other 200 or so patches given out on this event,i bet lots of people are cursing themselves for sewing them on a coat/bag then tossing it away).

Ric-tic Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 anyone heard of a bigger price for these anniversary badges. from The Driffter sure i got £265 for a second anniv about 4 years ago on ebay
Steve G Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 sure i got £265 for a second anniv about 4 years ago on ebay Amazing, I'll have to try and find some of mine
macca Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 is it only wigan? I have some st.ives anniversary badges. bet no bugger's interested in them...
Steve G Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 is it only wigan? I have some st.ives anniversary badges. bet no bugger's interested in them... Yes I am afraid Wigan seems to be the be all and end all of the universe when it comes to the type of person that wants to pay £200 for a patch. What I don't get is how you can tell an original patch from a repro? You going to Luanco? Steve
Mace Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 'kin ell...if Evison wasn't going so bald I'd rip a lump of his hair out and list it up on ebay to see what it fetches
Soul Satisfaction Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 is it only wigan? I have some st.ives anniversary badges. bet no bugger's interested in them... Some of those go for serious cash as well, seen the E.A.S.C patches hit the £80 mark, loads of patches here and at that kind of doe i would punt the lot of them lol.
Baz Atkinson Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 interesting theard this ,just discovered a wigan pie from upstairs and a can of brute ,if i sell them with one of russ winstanleys blue mgm demos of you fooled me do you think ill have enough to buy MAC STATON. BAZ A.

Guest mel brat Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) What the hell is that thing in the Va Va's Patch???? They ripped off the local 'Greenhall Whitley' Brewery logo! ha-ha! Not many of the early badge designs left I shouldn't think, as they were screen printed on nylon, and fell apart after a wash or two! They changed the design shortly afterwards..)
