Thanks Kurt

No more to look for?

 

At least two more. I'll post a pic in the next day or so of one I have that's different than the 4 above. The other one I know of is an OD border greenback. If you want to hear a story that will make you sick, I saw 3 OD borders at a show in the early 90's- two white backs and one greenback. I had just gotten to the show and only had about a $100 to spend. So I thought I'd get at least one of them later after I had a look around the rest of the show. Needless to say, all three were gone when I went back. The sad thing was the white backs were $20 and the GB was $25. I know, "why didn't you buy all three?" Hey I was a kid and that was expensive! You think that is bad, a friend recently told me he was at an Army Navy store in the early 70's and a kid pulled one out of a 25 cent box while he was there. Not having one for his collection, he kept offering the kid more money for the patch but he wouldn't sell it, the final offer was a dollar! I guess the time to buy is when you see it.

Kurt the most important thing you said to help collecters was to NOT hesitate to buy the patch you have been looking for years to find.
