Finally acquired enough badges and stick pins for their own display case. All my non medal decorations.

That's a nice collection you have there. Some very interesting pieces and displayed well.

Thank you. I really need more display cases but they aren't cheap. Even some of the lower quality ones. I have medals sitting in drawers waiting for their rightful place on the wall.

I know how you feel regarding Riker boxes etc. At the moment I'd rather put the money into a new medal and think of displays at a later date.

That's exactly how I've been feeling lately too.

Quick and dirty pics of 3 drawers

You have so much yet to display, I don't envy you.
Just opened one of my cases to show you how I'm doing it on the cheep at the moment. I've only been collecting for around 10 years at a medal a month sometimes a gap of 3 or 4. I have sped up a little in the last year though. I'm a late comer to the hobby but I am well and truly hooked'

This is about 50% of my collection to date.

Yes at least yours is organized! Mine are separated by ww1 and ww2.. Ugh... Lots of work to do.

It does take a bit of time and it's part of the fun. Mind you thats easy for me to say, I haven't as much to sort.

Good start UK. I think you are like most collectors, 90% of their stuff is stashed away. That's the way I am. I'm jealous of the guys with war rooms. Two of my kids have finished college and are finally out of the house. I'm trying to put dibs on one of their bedrooms but the wife isn't going along with the plan yet.
