The collecting of fake badges is no more or less worthwhile than the collection of "real" ones. A collection is a collection be it 19th century postage stamps, telegraph poles or worms.
In this case it could possibly be argued that the collection & identification of fakes is potentially more rewarding as it involves as much if not more detective work & there are just as many stories to be discovered.
If posters look on this forum, there are probably more words dedicated to fakes than to the real thing!
