Badge collecting is fast becoming a popular hobby across the United States, according to flea market dealer T. Britt. Police officers, firefighters, movie stars and security people are counted among those who once wore the badges. Prices range from $25 to $250.

Britt also deals in commemorative casino chips. The chips, which are generated by casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, feature rodeo riders, entertainers and more. For collectors, the value of the chips increase if the chip has been autographed by the depicted person.
