The 2010 souvenir pins sold in
Canada are the OFFICIAL pins
produced for the 2010 Games.
We do not recognize the US
2010 souvenir pins produced
with the USOC Trademark as
having equivalvent value
because they are co-branded
pins, produced specifically,
for the US Market under
license of the USOC.
American dealers/websites can
only sell USOC licensed pins.
For easy recognition please
refer to the back stamp.
When the wording, USOC
appears on the back stamp,
then it was a pin produced
specifically and only for the
US market.
All Souvenir pins which will be
offered on pincollectorssite
will be authentic Canadian
Market pins only. |
PIN RATINGS
I have used a rating system to try to evaluate the possible perceived collector's value a trader may attach to a particular pin. These ratings are not definitive, they are subjective, and based on production quantities as I know them and availability from my perspective. Other collector's may have different views based on their own personal experience.
