John Pepera Collection?

[der-hase-fee]

JMO but one man assembling 150 GPBs shows they are not really that rare. JP had a lot of cool and rare stuff in his collection but I don't think selling all his GPBs at once is a good idea - maybe 30 a year over 5 years would be better.

I count only 72 being offered, plus 1 Austrian.

How do I know? Well it might be the fact that I sold him said items...no bitching here and get off your high horse before you fall off.Just my pennethworh and I was merely making an observation since when has that been whining???
Yours the bitcher from the UK

Your claiming missing pieces, that comes off as someone did something wrong or something was mishandled and that sounds like an accusation. What did you sell him? tell me that and I can probably tell you where it is.

Which one is the Austrian?

Small Fuess with weird font and only 6's (or 9's) in the number.

That's not even close. John had to know that badge was bad. I wonder why he bought it in the first place?

So should HH's Jason B.

John May have picked up the badge years ago and forgot that he even had it. That said, it should have been better vetted before being put in the catalog.

As can be seen in the other thread, a few bits and pieces have gone missing from when John showed them back in 2009.

JP stated he had 154 GPBs in the Wittmann You Tube 2011 Show of Shows video.

For JW

Accusatory ???? what the hell are you talking about ? I really wonder about some peoples intellectual capacity, you need to get out more JW. Having dealt with JP
I knew some items were intended to collector colleagues etc I was merely alluding to this...problem ?

John had it identified to the recipient.

Are you counting individual pins (including multiple pin lots) or GPB numbers/lots?

Individual.

At least that's something that most if not all fakes have in common: Numbers up to 100,000. So there must be matches to actual awardees.

I was trying to correlate the offering with John's lists he shared with me over the past years. Obviously the Bruschwiler and Bartels groupings were reunited and so are not being offered.
