Brothers,
I know the guy! I have bought many things from him on and off eBay. He is a knowledgable collector. I suspect that there is something very significant about this badge that we don't know about. He is a Sigma Chi.
Oh, and he is a medical doctor....
Everything has a story... we can learn from every story told... that is why I collect. Not objects...not things...stories...that can teach us about life...what value do we place on a story? History...stories...things...objects...stories...l ife.
Yours in ZAX,
Mike Raymond, Z-U Zeta

But would I do it? I would probably think that the $3,000 could be much better used by giving it to a Brother that has had medical problems with mounting medical bills, a Brother who lost everything in a fire, or to a Brother's family that is in need, rather than to someone who sells these pins for a living.
Sure, it would be saving a piece of history, but I would think saving a piece of our future would be more important.
