A NOTE FROM HOST OF ORLANDO SHOW

We are less than three weeks away from one of the best Police Collectors show in the Southeast. There still time to reserves your tables. Just a reminder, I haven't heard from some of our well known regular Florida collectors. We have over 65 tables sold and expect another sell out. Great Location, Great Hotel and Great Prices. Stay the weekend and enjoy the pool, local shopping and world renowned attractions.

Hope to See You There

Your Show Host

Doug Sarubbi

ORIGIN OF MY COLLECTION

1967 was the year of the Newark Riots. My Dad was a Newark Detective near the end of his career; and I was just beginning a career as a Probation Officer. Shortly after the riots my Dad gave me a couple of badges he acquired over the years. They sat around in a desk drawer for a couple of years. Eventually I put them on a shelf - never knowing that this was the beginning of my collection. My father died in 1974 leaving me his retirement detective shield. The word "Retired" had been put in the number panel. He didn't like that and knocked it off. He had the original number put back, but this was absolutely "no work of art." None the less I am proud to have it. It stands today "under glass" in my den along with other items from Newark and other NJ communities. I have been "The" Badge Collector ever since (50+ years).
