Koi Show Pin Collectors

[MikeM]

I see that pins for the 2004 All Japan show that was not held are now being sold. From a collector's perspective, I guess there something special about that?

Seems rather commercial. But, if I get some Florida clubs to join together in producing pins to shows never held, will you guys buy them? If so, I'm sure I can find some clubs to help meet your need. .... Is it essential the club actually have members?

Hi Mike,

I own one of the ZNA 2003 pins for that show that wasn't held.
I don't know anything about a 2004 show - do tell.

If you want pin info go to www.koipin.com

I hate to ask a dumb question, but how much value is a pin for a show not held? What is the most expensive pin you own?

[Bern]

I've only every paid the sale price for them or traded them with other collectors.

I've occasionally traded two for one to get a pin but thats about the limit.

I know of a US Pin Collecter that paid $50 dollars for one on e-bay.

Hey MikeM
Most likely the pins had already been produced, bought and paid for. What are they supposed to do? At least maybe they can recoup some of the cost - ya think? :wink:
