I just find it laughable that someone would be willing to pay (as a collector) FAR above retail for a badge when they could get one just as easily from the original source (with any engraving they want!)
Without meaning, your badge is just jewelry. The badge is not the organization though. It is a symbol of it. The MEMBERS are the organization. Last I checked no one collected GLO members.. Except maybe student governments, CEO search committees, etc..

We have hashed and rehashed many of these issues before but I think it is importnat to point out that for some older GLOs there is a lot more too their badge history than Masters of Design. Originally, my GLO did not have a uniform badge and our older badges are a treasured part of our history. Our Constitution does provide that the badge is the property of the member for her lifetime, but that hasn't stopped many badge collectors from buying old badges that have wound up on ebay and keeping an important part of our Fraternal History.
