Pin trading is recognized worldwide as ‘the unofficial sport of the Olympic Games.’ With less than 600 days to the Opening Ceremony of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, the interest in pin collecting and the number of collectors expected at the annual show is growing. However, collectors will also be displaying and trading pins of all types.
