    Thanks to two Gents here, though it doesn't sound like much but, thanks to these two-i've increased my collection of Silver and Bronze IABs to double what it was as of about Feb this year. I have a """"""""huge"""""""" collection of these badges of 12 examples with two of these being stickpins.

    On recieving four more of these great-looking badges in the mail yesterday, I decided to dig out the others and just have a simple display of these on my computer desk. 4 of these are Bronze and the rest are silver.

    Now I can see why good folks like Fischer, Stewy and John, like collecting as many multiples of these awards as possible ;-)) The only other award I collect that I have more of than these-is my EK collection.

    Carl I have some questions about your obvious skills in finding (and acquiring) your collection. If you have time one of these days, shoot me a PM.

    Hi John, Luke,

    John, "the heat is on" eh? ;-)) You have me beat in the other areas though, GABS, PABs-my collections of those are a mere two each :-(

    Luke, certainly ;-)) PM sent soon as I post here.

    Best regards--Carl.

    Glad you liked them Carl,i heard they were heading your way;). Just remember the more variants you get,the tougher the rest are to find:rolleyes:. Quite the opposite of "narrowing the odds". They get lengthened:(.Stewy

    Cheers Syewy, Ted,

    Stewy, for sure im addicted to these things-darn it-there goes the money I was saving to buy another Car with ;-))

    Hi Ted, I wish I could, but I don't have a camera to take any pics unless I can get my brother to do it-then I only know how to send the pics along with an email-I finally learned how to attach pics to emails ;-)) If I can get him to come over sometime soon? ill ask him to take a pic of all of them to show off here. Also, I hope the job isn't keeping ou too busy? unless it's for the good.

    Take care Ted, Stewy--C.
