I would love to spend a bit of time over a drink or two in your room with you Todd, and listening to the stories of how you snared some of your
great items mate. Each item has its own story on how it was obtained, and payed for..... there is generally some hand wringing, obtaining the
funds, checking it out, the wait for that object to arrive, and will it be favourably viewed by other collectors... you have some fabulous items and
it would be great to listen to all of the stories.
Best wishes

Would love to do the exact same in your war room with you sir. That is part of what this hobby is about for me. Some of my fondest experiences in the hobby are visiting with fellow collectors and swapping those stories whilst we look over their treasures.
Bill Shea was clever and savvy enough to turn this concept into a series of books. Granted, he has a large quantity of truly eye-popping and one of a kind items, so the commercial appeal of hearing about them and how he found them is much higher than the "average Joe" collector like me. Bill is also a delightful conversation companion and I'm glad to have known him since circa 1989.

The best part of the hobby is the hunt! ;-)
All my TR is reunited in one cabinet, minus my swords, that do not fit in.
Just one pic, sorry!
hey Kris, nice to see the Bahnschutz cap still in the show ! cheers Tony
Hey Tony;
it surely is !
I still like it a lot.
Mine are kept in plastic bags, so I cannot display the collection at one time.
Posted before, but here are my shakos:

My Display has improved a bit since this thread started.
Damn, Murray, it sure as heck has!.....
