It's just an addictive hobby. Sure there are fakes out there, but there is if you collect sports cards, or beanie babies or whatever. Just don't buy if you don;t know what you are looking at. There is a thrill to collecting TR, I like having something that is a little more difficult to find and perhaps a little more valuable. We can all walk down to out local army surplus and pick up a piece of American or British or Canadian militaria, but what is the fun in that?
