Collection: Trading Pins

Trading pins are collectible pins, typically featuring logos, mascots, or other custom designs, that are created specifically for trading at events such as sports tournaments, conventions, or festivals.

These pins are often produced in limited editions and are a popular way for participants and fans to interact with one another by trading them. Trading pins are especially common in events like youth sports leagues (e.g., Little League Baseball), the Olympics, and fan conventions.

The main appeal of trading pins is that they’re often uniquely designed, and people use them to commemorate an event, showcase their collection, or engage with others in the community. Pins can feature a wide range of styles and materials, including enamel, rubber, or die-cut designs, and they are often traded based on rarity, design, or the event’s significance.
