I'm tired of seeing these same people win the auctions. I tried to get a very very old badge of ours the other day. I'm sure the people who were bidding on it had no idea that it belonged to a brother who graduated from Amherst in 1885. They only knew his last name. I know that because I have an old membership directory. All they see is another cool looking pin to add to their collection. We see it has a symbol of our fraternity and something that belonged to a dear brother of ours, and I want to bring it back to DU. But no, I don't have almost $400 to spend on it, makes me sick. Pins that old and that special are pretty rare, and this one is going into some bin with a bunch of other pins probably.
