ASA Pin on Ebay

Hey ya'll I was searching Ebay for ASA stuff and came across a pin up for auction. the url is http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=880257289. I'm not sure which pin the description is: "Beautiful gold ASA classic pin with 'A' guard. Engraved on back with pin #1046 and an 'A' to represent 'ALPHA' chapter. This member pin was worn after initiation to the ALPHA CHAPTER (at Longwood College, the school at which ASA was founded) and is a wonderful collector's item for any member. Originally paid nearly $200.00 and only wore a few times. Will e-mail pictures upon request." I'm emailing the seller for a picture as I'm writing this. Although I don't know what a pin other than the pledge pin looks like because we are not yet a chapter. I hope an ASA will retrieve this because I have the feeling that its a little more expensive than what my finances can handle. Anyway I just wanted to let ya'll know about it in case one of ya'll wanted to bid.

Leigh Ann -

It is the same shape as the pledge pin but black enamel on gold. Here is a pic of all the npc badges - http://www.npcwomen.org/memorg.htm

we are in the bottom row second one from the left.

I am going to send an email to national on this one - I didn't think we engraved the backs but if so, they will know exactly whose butt to kick for selling their badge. It's in reserve and I am guessing it's one of those ones w/ the pearls & rubies - too rich for my blood.

Thanks for finding it!

I've managed to buy two ASA pins from ebay, both being the ones with pearls. I do my best to get them when I see them, since I think it's really rotten for non ASAs (especially ones with not the best intentions) to have them.
