While going through some things I had in storage for years, I came across these 2 belts. The first is a toy belt made of foam, plastic and velcro to fasten. I remember getting this from an NWA catalog around '87 or '88. It's in excellent, near mint shape. I see 2 of them on Ebay now for $99 and $150. I'm looking to get $50 for it.

I got it around '86 or '87.The strap is real leather with snaps and a tan leather strip for an autograph. The plates are metal, not very think, maybe 1/16 of an inch or less. They are gold colored with printing on it. I don't know what type of process was used for the lettering, but it is not hand painted, as everything is very smooth with no raised texture. It almost looks like it could be silk screened. Does anyone remember these? Have one? Please shoot me a PM if you are interested in either.
