Hi Vialli, and welcome to this forum. I am a fairly new member as well, and I can assure you the members here are extremely helpful, and their knowledge is amazing, not to mention their collections.
Yes, I agree collecting badges is a mine field, but learning all you can and finding good reliable sources is the only way to go. There is a sale area section and buying from the members is always safe and good established dealers. Ebay is the biggest mine field and there are lots of shady sellers there.
Bottom line enjoy the hobby. What area are you pursuing?
Terry
