Determining The Number Of Custom Baseball Trading Pins To Order For Each Player On Your Team

By Caryn Smith © 2010, All Rights Reserved

Custom baseball trading pins are a hit at softball and baseball games and tournaments around the world.  Players and fans come armed with lanyards full of trading pins in every shape, color, and size imaginable.  The coolest pins combine team logos or mascots with great colors and elements like glitter and blinking lights.  Some designs spin or appear to slide across the trading pins.  Bobble heads mimic the popular dashboard toy by having a stationary body and a movable head attached to a spring.  Kids, in particular, love these types of baseball trading pins because of their playful nature.

The Allure of Trading Pins at Tournaments, the Little League World Series, and Cooperstown

Pin trading is as much a part of baseball as the sport itself.  At events like the Little League World Series and Cooperstown, tents are filled to the brim with people of all ages looking for that perfect addition to their growing collections of baseball trading pins.  As a coach or team mom, you might ask yourself, “How can I determine how many trading pins my team will need this year?”  To make it easier for you, Lapel Pins R Us recommends ordering as many as possible for each player to have throughout the season.

How Many Baseball Trading Pins Should I Order For Each Player?

Players like to start each tournament with an impressive selection of baseball trading pins to swap with other players and fans.  Ordering too few pins will limit their experience and cause them to be more selective when giving their pins away.  When you are getting ready for the upcoming baseball or softball trading season here is a guideline to help in deciding how many trading pins per player you might need:  If you are playing in local tournaments you should consider a minimum of 15-25 pins per player. At Little League and World Series tournaments you should consider 25-50 pins for players and at Cooperstown 75-100+ will help in making the trading pin season a memorable event. You may also want to order extra trading pins for siblings and coaches or create a custom umpire pin to trade with other baseball professionals.

Filling a lanyard full of your team’s custom baseball trading pin each time that you set out to play a big game or participate in a tournament gives players something to look forward to.  Win or lose, each player will be given a chance to demonstrate their championship trading skills as they use their custom baseball trading pins as a bartering tool to score the coolest danglers, spinners, sliders, cut outs, and bobble heads from other teams.
