Believe it or not...
some CM's..are getting better at spotting fakes!
The other day..while in downtown...
1 of the younger CM's that I knew....
[I trade a lot..and talk to them]...
called me over to show me that she actually spotted her first fake!
i had never seen a Sedesma pin before..
so..I told her to get it the heck off of her lanyard..and traded her for it...
as..I wanted it..it was an oddity..and such a blatant cheap imitation..
that only a blind person..and not even then...
would not notice it..
they are just painted..no shine....no enamel...
very obvious....
but...as proud as she was to have spotted it..
I did not remind her..that she did trade for it in the first place.
Speaking of lots....and...actually..ANYTHING that you buy on Ebay...
just verify..in writing from the seller if necessary...
that the pic. of the item..is the item you will get.
not a stock pic..or a grab bag....
but,actual pics of what you are buying.
a good seller will agree to this..whether there are 2 in her lot..or 100.
a garbage seller..will always use the same pics.
