My Favorite Collections
My Favorite State Collections
One of the best things about collecting patches is displaying them for other collectors to enjoy. In that spirit, I have pulled together this list of my favorite websites of collectors who specialize in patches from other states or large metropolitan regions. I haven’t personally traded with all of these collectors – I just admire their collections. In order to be listed here, the collector must concentrate in a specific state or region and have a majority of the collection displayed on their website. I don’t judge these sites on the quality of the website itself, but on the completeness of the collection. If you know of any sites that are missing here, please let me know.
