Is collecting GLO pins right or wrong? Discuss.

[FuzzieAlum]

OK, every time someone mentions "pins on eBay" or collecting pins, someone comes on this board (usually but not always a one-issue poster) and says, "Collecting isn't bad." And someone (like me) gets hotheaded and into the same old argument with them, and the original thread is completely derailed. I'm sure that's very irritating to the people who wanted to talk about the original thread topic.

So instead of starting from the premise that pin collecting is bad and how can we stop it, this thread asks - is it OK to collect GLO pins? Only your own? Defunct groups? To keep your grandma's pin? To collect any and all GLO pins?

And I'd like to remind everyone of two things: Anti-collectors, many collectors are GLO members themselves. Don't assume they're not. Collectors, many anti-collectors are out there doing more than shouting on GC. Don't assume they're all talk and no action.

Have at it!
