[ST] [Publications-staff] Ribbons

[Happy]

Only probblem with a staff-specific badge is that if you convert
[dragoon/shanghai/trick/coerce] someone to a staff position at-con, it costs
us another badge blank.

What is the marginal cost of printing each badge and how many
at-con-member-to-staff converstions happen post-badge pickup?  What is the
cost of staff ribbons?  This may still be cost-neutral-or-better.
