What a fantastic spectacle Beijing provided the world and especially us Olympic junkies.  From all the blogs I’ve read and posting I skimmed over here and there, it seems as though the pin trading was fast and furious. I sure the Beijing fever will lessen soon enough. I’ve bought quite a few myself I couldn’t help myself with all the gorgeous pins that were produced for 2008 Beijing.

I hope all of you who went over to part take in the festivities had a blast and came back with a tonne of pins and better yet a tonne of stories and some new friendships.

All that being said Vancouver 2010 is next on the hit parade and there a core group of collectors who are preparing themselves for the pin mania that swept over China over these last two – three weeks. I know that the Pacific Pin Club is putting its’ best foot forward to educate the general public in the Vancouver area and the lower mainland. Hopefully Vancouver will prove to be just a fervent a hotbed for pin collectors as Beijing proved to be.

By the way if you are looking to find any Vancouver 2010 Corporate Olympic pins and coming soon souvenir pins for the 2010 games come by and visit www.pincollectorssite.com are doors are open 24 hours a day and we have a great selection of pin for trade and sale.

Hello Pinheads,

I have heard from a reliable source that there will be a series of 24 Vancouver 2010 Mascot Sport Series of pins released by the end of the month. Keep an eye out for them. I am sure that Radar the Pin Guy will have them before anyone else does. His site can be found at www.radarthepinguy.com

Supposedly they are absolutely fantastic.

If you hear of any upcoming events or any new pin releases please drop us a line at either www.pincollectorssite.com in the contact toolbar or email me directly at pinhunter@yahoo.com

Cheers and best of luck in your future trading endeavours.

Hello my fellow pinheads,

It has been about a week since I last posted a blog. This blog's subject matter is about enabling yourself to be seen by other collector's from around the world. It is very simple to do and it is free.

Simply go to the pincollectorssite and scroll down to the bottom of the home page and you will find an icon on the bottom left of the page. It says pinpoint here or it will have a globe in the icon. The icon changes every few seconds. Open it up and hit pinpoint. Once you do that drag the thumb tack icon to your location on the world map and then click on the thumb tack again. If you follow the instructions a message screen pops up, where you can put your name in there as well as your email address and your URL. there is space on the bottom in a text box to leave a fairly lengthy message, i.e. how great the pincollectorssite is and any information you want other collectors to see, like what the focus of your collection is. You can even put your phone # in there.

I hope you utilize this feature it could help you connect with someone in your geographic area.

Cheers and good luck in your collecting endeavours!!
