Where can I find the shiny little brass plates that trophy shops glue to plaques and trophies? I looked at some of the my regular metal vendors, and they are stupid expensive for brass sheet and I would still have to cut it which would make it much harder to engrave.

Google "Trophy Supplies" and you'll find a lot of them.

I know you don't want to cut it, but Home Depot sells solid brass door kickplates. Maybe you have a local architectural recycling place?
Anything like that the HD sells, especially steel sheet and aluminum shapes in the hardware section are some of the most overpriced stuff around.
McMaster-Carr may sell blanks. Otherwise there are lots of places that sell engraving supplies.
I once got a brass nameplate for a coffin for my GF's dog, who had to be put down when she got doggy lymphoma at about age 14.
I found one at a kiosk in a large mall, and they even engraved it for me. Then I had to go to the model train place to get some #2 brass wood screws.
Good Luck! Rich
