Does anyone collect Desert Shield / Storm 1991 Home Front items? When I was a kid, I collected everything related to the war. I have a huge box full of pins, cards on and on, that I just came across when cleaning out my moms house. Does anyone collect or buy this stuff?

Are you looking for buyers? Try posting a few things in the For Sale section and see what kind of response you get.

 

If you want to test the waters first, go onto eBay, find similar items, and click on "Completed Items" on the left hand column. You can scan the completed listings and see if anything sold.

 

Gulf War and Global War on Terror items seem to be slowly picking a collecting interest. I know on here Afghanistan made patches seem to sell pretty regularly. If Home Front items are not selling right now, just set them aside for a few more years and try again.

 

Good luck!

I have some things that I have kept squirreled away. I remember the desert storm days as I was working in a party supply/costume store and we could not keep any US flags in stock - we found place to buy in bulk but we had to put them on the sticks ourselves, we did thousands of them. And we were cutting up the plastic yellow tablecloths to make yellow ribbons and bows for people. Then all the novelty anti-Saddam things came out too - I still have some "wipe out Hussain" toilet paper!

Yeah, I was wondering if anyone was into this stuff yet. I'm not going to throw any of it away, but if someone collected this stuff, it is better than sitting in a box in my garage.
