So I got all these steenking badges... Last viewed: 1 hour ago

Posts: 105 Threads: 3

Howdy, folks.

FNG here.

Wayulp, around 1980, I got into using vintage stuff only and then got away from it. Through the course of things, I wound up with a li'l plastic box full of badges. Stuff like at least one of every era of Slingerland; one or two of what I call, "SlingerLeedy' badges (blue oval); keystones, both Ludwig and WFL...lemmesee...a "Ludwigold"; an OLD oval Ludwig; some Gretsch stopsigns; a couple of round Gretsches, both tom and snare; and a Leedy Reliance (this one still has the groomet intact, fer crissake.) There are others...honestly, I just rediscovered this box while I was rootin' around in some stuff that I hadn't stuck my nose into in years.

Is some of this worth anything, do you reckon?

I'd be curious about how to establish some figures, were I to start offin' this stuff.

I imagine Slingerland large ovals, for example, or small brass embossed or script ovals or small copper and black ovals aren't SUPER common, along with the clouds, of course. Hell, I've got some Niles badges that I remember when they were new. (Am I that old?) But...

I've been out of the game for a while so I'm not in touch with things like I used to be. I nosed around on Ebay out of curiosity and some of the "buy it now"'s were surprising but I also know there are some dreamers on Ebay, so how realistic a yardstick Ebay is would be anybody's guess, I'm thinkin'.

Anyway, any input would be welcomed and appreciated.

Love this forum and I applaud you guys' good taste in your appreciation of those drums of which, "they don't make like they yoosta"

So I take it,...you don`t need no steenkin badges !!

But if you spread them out on a table and photo them for us,....I can`t tell ya how many people say,..." Missing one badge" or "has no badges " !!

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!

You could search EBAY for completed auctions for the badges if you truly want to find their current market pricing. There are badges on there now with BIN prices that typically don't get sold, so look for badges that someone has actually been willing to pay for. You may find there is a pretty large difference between the two.

Like Oddball said though, if you post a picture of those badges, some guys on here would more than likely be PM'ing you to complete kits. I believe most guys would rather buy from here than the bay anyways. It just feels less greasy...........

have a wonderful evening

John, I'm afraid There aren't any Fibes. There is, however, someone I can call who might know where some are. If I hear about any, I'll be sure to let you know.

Drumhack, I agree about not messin' with EBAY if I don't have to. It lacks the "legitamacy" that's present when you know you're dealing with people who you know actually give a damn.
