These were the official issues for 2006, and they were designed by Dr. Jon Hobbs. The red bordered triangle was the trader patch. The gold bordered triangle was given to each staff member on arrival. The white ghost triangle was given as a gift to each staff member at the end of the conference by Dr. Hobbs. The silver bordered triangle was given to division heads within the staff.
The above six issues are NOT medical staff items and are fakes and I encourage people NOT to buy them if they are seen for sale. These six pieces were produced by two individuals who I believe were EMTs on their college campus, and they were explicitly produced to raise funds for these individuals to attend NOAC. I don't know if the preceding story is true, but that is what they told people whom they sold these patches to at the pre-NOAC tradeoree. I only show them so you know that these are not official. Note their similarity to genuine medical patches from the 2000 - 2004 conferences, further suggesting intentional fraud.
