EBAY is concerned about current looking badges being in the hands of crooks and terrorists. Since 9-11 they have been tough on current looking badges. Old stuff is okay.

If EBAY was concerned about "stolen" property on their site, they would be out of business....How could they regulate all the thousands of items posted everyday?

Some casino have a concern about their patches being out of their control. They want to avoid crooks and terrorists ripping them off.

I recently did a book on Nevada casino security patches. If any of you have any to sell or trade, let me know......Here is a picture of the front page showing "Deputy" patches from the 1950s....The security people are no longer deputized or considered police.

Bill Judge has some nice collectible badges....good luck with them....
