Matt,
Thanks for the good words. Actually the badges are the easy part, although the most expensive. The hard part is putting it all together in a secure display and getting the histories and other paraphernalia together for a coherent and consistent presentation. That's the part that's driving me crazy. How do you do that? I don't know.
When I started this I had no idea how many GLOs there actually are, or were. I have about 150 and still don't have the 'good ones'.
I lost a Paedagogus tonight but that's okay. Another will come along. I'd like to get a complete set of those, the older ones are way cool - lots of writing those guys had to do! In fountain pen or pencil. There are also pledge manuals of other fraternities I'll pick up, but only if one of theirs isn't bidding on it.
I like meeting all kinds of people on eBay and everyone has his own goals. If you're cordial, you can get to know alot of guys from all over the country. I've never met anyone who wasn't sincere - whether Lambda Chi, TKE, Sig Ep, Sigma Pi, KA....you name it.
We understand each other, recognize the value of each other's organizations, respect them, and come to the realization that rivalries have a certain half-life.
It's all good with fraternities. Sororities are a whole different story, and I really don't want to get into that because some of them can be absolute witches. (Oops, should I have said that?)
Ebay is like football. If you're not prepared to get beaten and possibly lose, don't play.
Jono
