A suspicious eBay auction claiming to sell Apple Employee #10’s badge caught the attention of the author, who discovered it was likely a fake with the help of Apple Employee #8, Chris. The badge’s provenance from the German Red Cross, complete with a purchase receipt from 2001, was also debunked as a forgery with the assistance of internet sleuths. Despite efforts to expose the scam, the item was already sold for $946.00. The author advises readers to be cautious of fraudulent pieces of Apple history and avoid purchasing from the dubious seller involved in this story. Also, engage the internet when in doubt.
