These badges are way outside my area and league. I must say though, very sharp looking. Thank you very much for posting these and making me rethink my narrow badge collecting field.

Just a bit more info., on the man in the middle picture..... I will be remounting the badge because the badge is actually wrong, it should be the voided QVC which I mentioned is very hard to find.....
