My Gecosphere

[Eric Bailey]

Hiya fellers, I'm Eric in the pacific NW. I have been collecting since I was 8 years old in the mid-70's. I sold my huge collection when I was 24 and returned to the hobby 10 years ago and was surprised-nay, shocked at the increase in value of some of these items I used to wear in dirt-clod fights (TR stuff, I'm looking at you). Now I have a modest but respectable collection with a heavy emphasis on WWII aviation. I credit the Facebook militaria collector groups for taking exclusive pricing power away from the monied big shots and bringing levels down to a more realistic plateau. Even if a few of my items had their worth diminished by a third as a result. Nice to meet you and I'll see you around.

PS. The tyke is my Chief of Security. A dangerous character and not to be trifled with

Welcome to the forum @Eric Bailey, hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Do you have a license for your head of security?  Looks a bit dangerous to me.
