How rare do you think this is?

Here's a Gene Berg badge that I got several years ago.  Just curious, how rare do you think it is?  I think it's pretty special and if you do let me know and I will tell the story.

Never even seen a picture of another so I`d guess it`s a pretty rare item!
More so a cool piece to have though

Years ago I was talking with the Bergs about a sticker to promote the business.  I came up with the Genuine Gene Berg Parts sticker.  Dee gave me the go ahead to have some made for her.  I did, but kept a few for myself (she knew)  I sent a couple to my friend in Wells Maine.  His name is Craig Merrow.  He is a very creative fellow and made a mold to cast the badge.  It was a little larger than the sticker and he made three.  He sent me one, kept one for himself and sent one to Clyde Berg.  Dee was a little concerned that someone would make them then sell them so Craig sent them the master for the mold.  As near as I know there are only three in existence and I am fortunate enough to own one of them.  That's the story.  Craig cast them out of aluminum in his home made forge.  Craig is a very talented guy.  He has become a great long distance friend like many out there.  I need to get Craig on the Lounge!

Yeah I agree. I remember him from the CLF.
