I always lead off this collector's newsletter with the United States category. It is the biggest on the site and always has some great picks to feature. Check out what I've turned up this week by clicking on the links below.
The German category has always held down the 2nd spot in the newsletter as it's proved to be very popular among collectors. Helmets, knives, and binoculars are among the items you almost always find bidders chasing after in this block.
I don't have any analytics to suggest how popular this block is but I know there are dedicated collectors who go after these.
The WWI block is a natural fit for military collectors. Some of these items are very unique to that conflict but there is a good bit of crossover among interest areas for collectors.

It's been a long vacation for the WWII Hot Finds and I hope you are happy to see this collector's newsletter. You might have noticed that it's also coming out very early in the day as opposed to the afternoon issue that was the old tradition. Click through these links to see some great live auctions in the category.
The A2 jacket pictured to the left is a $500+ auction that should only go higher. The paratroop jump jacket listed below doesn't look like it got too dirty so I don't know about that one.
With the return of the WWII Hot Finds newsletter I've got a really nice German lot pictured below. Right now it's also a $500+ auction that is doing well.
This block features many Russian, Japanese, and items from other countries. If you like helmets, swords or medals this block has some auctions for you!
One of the things that has slowed me down getting back to this edition of the Hot Finds has been my return to the classroom. I don't have a collection of posters but I've made a copy of the images from that propaganda poster listed below.
Getting back to doing this newsletter has been on my list for weeks now. I spent 10 days in Michigan during that time and have started a new job so there have been a lot of things getting in the way. Hopefully, my new routine will allow me to return to the 2/week schedule that worked so well for many years.

Today my town is having it's 4th of July fireworks display. Yes a little early but at least this gets it out of the way before the weekend when people are traveling. Now if the rain will just let up!
Check out these featured auctions in the United States category of eBay.
The German block in this newsletter typically has just shy of a dozen live auctions that are among the best in the category.
This block in the newsletter features items from different actors in the war including the UK, Russia, Japan, and Canada.
Here you can find items from World War I that are very similar to the larger category for WWII.
I have been very busy this week working on eBay as my wife and daughter have been out of town to scout camp. I hope to cap it off tomorrow which is my last day of freedom.
