I just got sniped on a Dragon bagde on Ebay. I have nearly a full set, including the rare 1962 cloth badge. However my missing years are not from the 60s or 70s, they are:
1980
1983
1984
1985
1991
1993
1995
A 1993 badge came up this week and I bid on it. I was sniped at (can you beleive this) £39!
At this rate I will have to sell a bike to complete my collection.
Up until a year ago I was paying a maximum of £15 per badge, but Ebay has pushed prices through the roof.

Sell all your badges, and buy a Vincent Black Shadow ?

I have I think all of the badges you are missing NONE are for sale this weekend I was given a 1969 Dragon Badge the one I lost Years ago.

I started collecting them so that I could add the images to the relevant years on my dragon rally website. The first 15 or so were really cheap and of course once you're that far in there's no point stopping.

Graham, I applaud your desire to replace the badges but please don't get sucked into paying over the odds for stuff off eBay. Always remember that you are only " replacing" much coveted items, but you can never replace the sentimental attachment to the originals (the ons you buy may not even have been at the rally).........they're gone, sorry to say. I've been the same with footie programmes but that's another story.

Wotcha.
Then why not just collect the images ?
