Surplus Geek Military surplus can vary from the smallest of items such as pins and medals all the way to massive pieces of history such as tanks! This means there is no one way to collect surplus and like any hobby there is a ton to specialize in or focus on. Join me as I dive into the many corners of the mil-surp collecting world and maybe I'll bring along a guest to help lay everything out. I will also stray at times into other related topics such as serving in the military and discussing the historical significance behind all of this. If you are a die hard collector, maybe just someone who only has a few pieces or even someone who just enjoys the topic or history, I think you will want to hear my ramblings so stick around! 4d3fe561-114e-4ade-b6a6-a1dd0b8a36dd Military surplus can vary from the smallest of items such as pins and medals all the way to massive pieces of history such as tanks!
