In 1982, Erny Bugbee went to his first buckle show in Hayes, Kan.
The next year, the Alma native decided to design a belt buckle himself -- a 1983 Cornhusker football buckle cast in pewter.
Now, 28 years later, Bugbee has a collection of nearly 40,000 buckles he sells to collectors across the Midwest.
Bugbee brought his buckles to Lincoln for more than 2,000 collectors to see at the 26th annual Husker Toy & Buckle Show on Sunday at the Lancaster Event Center.
