chuck,
the NBRC has them, JEDDS, FOY'S you name it they are all about the same price now adays. I had been getting mine from the NBRC but they are $35 now too I think? up $10 from last year.
make your choice all about the same price.
The plastic ones are all you can get, same as homer size.
Foy's used to have a japeneese aluminum one but it got pretty costly, now it might be worth getting I liked them as they could be cut with scissors, they were at Foy's

Chuck,
I just ordered 100 personalized bands from Foys pigeon supply. They are the Belgium plexiglass with aluminum on the inside of the band. I have been usining the same bands on all my young birds this year. They work great. They were 42.00 with shipping included. They have about 5 or 6 colors to choose from. They take about 6 weeks to get to you. They are the same bands that you use on racers. I have not had one slip off yet while still in the box...I have banded 25 birds with them so far.

I have purchased them through NBRC and had no trouble with losing them either. I was surprised how many calls I got from people who found a roller I had raised. They were always birds that had been given away or sold though, never one that I had lost from my loft. I quit using them when I ran out. Just another expense that was bringing me no benefit.
