I see your point completely, FuzzieAlum, and up to a point I agree with it. All I'm saying is that I think it muddies the waters to imply that what sellers are doing on e-bay is wrong because "they don't own the badges to begin with." Maybe that's true in some cases, but in the majority of cases I'd say it's debatable at best. If one wants to argue against collecting, it's better to stick with a stronger, well-grounded arguments, such as the one you made.
