Thanks Tom for the levelheaded post. Deep feeling for badges and the desire to keep them in the family is something I understand, appreciate and agree with. It's not the goal I disagree with, it's Shadokat's method.
I will PM you as requested.
Yes, most collectors have made provisions to donate their collections either to their own GLO HQ, to each of the respective organizations, or individually to other collectors who are members of that GLO. So yes, I have made arrangements for my pins. Especially for my DPhiE's, which thanks to Shadokat's snotty dig will now be personally melted down by my executor.
(before someone gets their knickers in a twist, I was only kidding about melting the DPhiE badges)
