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).

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?

I found one of Russ's used Nicorette patches on the Wigan dancefloor once and got him to autograph it. I bet that's worth a bit... :)

This was a genuine sale & no one was more shoked than me, it started @ £4 on Sat morning went out Sat Night come home & it was £165....I honestley extpected it to reach about £60-70....What is nice is the Wigan First Night Badge that is up on Ebay @ The Moment, It will be a long time before you see another one of these....& Before you ask No It Isn't Mine.... If the First Anniversary Badge Fetched £205....This one must top that....But as with E-Bay you Never Can Tell....post-2461-1172334334_thumb.jpg

What the hell is that thing in the Va Va's Patch????

They ripped off the local 'Greenhall Whitley' Brewery logo! ha-ha! :wicked::ohmy: 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..)

no.gifStrangest thing I've ever seen. Think the designer had been sampling the beer, big style.

Thanks anyway. :)
