Tips for collectors

militaria collector's tipsLast month, a starting collector asked me if I had any collector’s tips I could share. I had never considered this before, but I realized there are so many do’s and don’ts, so I figured I’d write an article on it and share it with everyone.

With the holidays in sight, all of you long-time collectors are surely evaluating your purchases done in 2011 and making want lists and resolutions for 2012.

I have been collecting WW2 militaria since I was a boy. About ten years ago, I decided to focus on WWII US Army, specializing in the history and equipment of the US Paratroops.
