Also, check out
WWW.ASMIC.ORG and see if maybe this would not be of interest to you. Military Trader Magazine has a ton of shows listed. Suggest you go to a couple in the local area just to observe and bourse and maybe delay buying until you feel more confident about what you want to collect and spend money on and also to see who seems honest and who is perhaps a bit shady. Several local shows across the country to try, I am going to one in Hillsboro, TX tomorrow that has always been a wonderful show for me. It starts early-about 8 am and by noon or 1 pm is pretty well played out but what fun for a few hours and then a few of us old-timers gather to enjoy lunch and talking about those who did not join us. What better life can there be in this collecting world. ASMIC since 1971........Emil
