Not only do you really get your money's worth for them, the research potential makes it very worthwhile. Since I decided to focus on British WWI medals last year, I have been the happiest and most satisfied I've ever been with my collection; and I've been collecting militaria for over 20 years. If you decide to start collecting more of these medals, I highly recommend a subscription to Ancestry.com. Not only do they have the Medal Index Cards and service & pension records, but the census, birth, marriage, and death indexes are great aids to your research. :)
