27. Thanks for the advice, the problem with the www is that there seems
to be to much info. I have gotten a lot of good tips off the internet though. I was just looking for some experienced collectors to help with some of the pitfalls. I have some buttons from names of companies like Tigereye and Guardfrog. I also have some limited edition buttons from some local vendors. I have been on Ebay, but am not totally sure about purchasing from an online vendor cause of the high potential for fakes or mass productions. I have bought quite a few from a local store called White House Gear in Tampa.

Its like an addiction, the quest to find that one little jewel, and it does cost very much either.

Thanks :fistbump:
