SOLD TO ME, AS GENUINE:
Someone really hated the back of this button. Eek
In hindsight, maybe the misspelling of first word in the sites description should have tipped me off? Can't believe everything you read. Wink
I've sold better repro's of this button, (in perfect shape!) for less than $20.
AS REPRO'S!

Wow that's ugly! It looks like he ran over it with a car to give it the been there look!

Erich,
I almost told him to run over it with dozer treads next,
he might catch more fish,
saying it was done by a panzer?
jeees Frown

Note:
This is just another feeble attempt @ intentional defacing in order to defraud.
(Just think about it, a room of people wrecking buttons. Smile )
(local 88, button wreckers union?)
This one is on "it's" way home.
I hope that's the end of the story..
who's next?

Paul E.

Anybody ever been there?

It seems these cons use the phrase, "pssing contest", a lot?
