Not a happy bunny at the moment, basically being a Stanley badge collector with a limited budget I am not impressed that the OSC is buying up badges on ebay using OSC funding at silly prices.
It's got to the point where sellers I'm sure have had the nod that silly money is available and I suspect are bidding up badges themselves. This did not need to happen as myself and other collectors where willing to let the OSC loan badges for the exhibition.
To me it feels like Chelski buying all the young players from teams like Stanley just because they can, why do it. The OSC has now alienated the small collectors to the point where the little man can fight back with the only thing I can do and withdraw my offer of loaning any badges, sorry but I will say it again this did not need to happen the badges where there for you to use but the exhibition money was obviously burning a hole in your pocket.
