Your time isn't going to make a down payment on a construction project
But I get what you're saying.
As far as collectors go, I'm reasonably certain that they don't wear the badges out in public. Most would display them in cases or keep them in boxes, whatever it is collectors do.
Even so, not only did you earn the right to wear that badge, you learned what it stood for. Unless that collector has also come across what your badge stands for, they have just paid a lot of money for a pretty rock. And frankly, if someone values my badge enough to spend serious bucks on it without even knowing the meaning behind that, it sort of strikes me as a form of praise.
It's always good to know your badge is aesthetically pleasing to the uninitiated.
