Its the little things in this collecting life

I agree with previous comments - Very nice selection of tinnies, badges and medals.

Very interesting, I didn't know all of the victory medals were so similar.

When you live on a budget after divorce and child support it is the little things about collecting militaria that I like.
First off is my small collection of tinnie, some might notice a theme in this

Nice collection mate.

To paraphrase a piece of advice that was given to me once, which I think applies to just about everything in this stupid world:

'At the end of the day, there will be someone with an extra $5, who can afford just that little bit more than you can, and will think that what he can afford is better than yours'

Trying to keep up with the Jones's is both harmful and pointless. Long story short, your collection is important to you, and even if you envy what someone else can afford to collect, someone else will be able to afford more than he can.

So don't sweat it, and be satisfied with what you can afford .

Wonderful collection! If it makes you feel any better, it's bigger than mine.
