I recently started collecting antique badges such as police and military badges, firefighter badges, etc. There seems to be a wealth of resources for these collectible badges, and it’s pretty easy to get a solid collection going quickly. I’ve managed to pick up a few dozen already, and it’s almost fun to uncover new (or old) badges hidden in cracks in the internet. Next time you’re on ebay, take a look at some collectible badges, you might just acquire a new hobby.

What has the world come to? Stealing lapel pins? Fancy. That’s exactly what happened in Springfield, IL, and police are trying to locate the owner of the lapel pins in order to return them. For a photo, and more information regarding the stolen pins, check out the original article: Stolen Lapel Pins
