Hi!

I'm not a MJ collector, but I was around in the 80's.

I recently bought a security guard badge. I was image searching for where it might have been used, and found a picture on this site.

Before I hack it up (I had intended to change a couple panels and the center seal),

does it have value to this community?

I don't want to ruin something that might be that one missing piece in someone's collection. I know how that is.

I can't verify its history. I can say that it's not a cheap copy or quick knockoff, it's a heavy, solid badge.

Any hints / help would be great!

If not, it will begin life as a Tennessee guard badge soon.

Ok,

I took this screencap from an auction.

This was Julien's 2009 auction, page 80, in the personal stuff section.


There's just no way this is the same badge as that, right?

Are these common in California?


Thanks,


Shawn

Well, it's a rare bade and original ones are very few, so I'd leave it like it is, without modifying it.

Hi Laura!

Well, I'm not certain how rare it is. I've reached out to the manufacturer with no response.

I may just throw it up on eBay and see what happens, otherwise, I'ma hack it up and wear it at my part time job....


Thanks though!
