    "Sleeper" Badges in Our Hobby

    I think Infantry Assault Badges are an area where great deals can be had- most selling in the $50-$100 range. Also, Wound Badges can often be found in the $25-$75 range. Even a decent Minesweeper can be found for around a $100. SA and DRA/DRL Sport Badges are everywhere for $25-$50. I shouldn't mention the $25 KVK's and $35-$45 WW1 EK2's!

    A nice, presentable collection of just these types of badges could be built up for less $$$ than what just one high-end dagger would sell for. (No offense to dagger collectors, as they are terrific too. I was just using them as an example )

    Which badges do you think are the under-valued in this hobby?

    Hi John,
    Kind of hard to say what badges are undervalued. For that we would need to know where prices have been and where they are going. To me, EK2's were undervalued. I was getting them for $50 or less. They are going for $65 and up now. I agree with you on IAB's. That's why I decided about 1 year ago to focus on them. I have almost every maker now. But, they are the most common badge, that is why they are "cheap" compared to other badges. I also like the price of silver wound badges. You can still get a decent one for about $50.

      I can think of two, but I'm afraid that if I name them the prices for them will start going up!

        I think that the cloth versions of badges are underrated, though sometimes not underpriced. Common items such as pilot badges and para badges have a certain appeal for me, and I'd love to one day own a cloth DKiG. Right now I can't quit buying helmets, so that will have to wait.
