All-Star Gym Pin Trading?

[cheermommaRN]

So it seems this pin trading is taking off like wildfire! Every competition we have gone to kids are passing pins back and forth. Spirit is offering gym pins to trade that are the gym logo on a purple state of texas...are other gyms doing this? Cp is getting 3 for NCA and she is hoping to trade one for a Stingrays if they are doing it.
So is this a TX thing or is the whole cheer world getting pin fever?

My gym is in Kansas and I haven't really heard much about this! I think it's a neat idea though!

MD Twisters are doing this, this year!! Good to know other people are doing this. I'm not sure how many pins I will have though.

I haven't heard of this, but it sounds like a great idea! I'm looking forward to seeing if this becomes a big thing in the next few years.

Is there a website that we could order the pins to trade?

It seems like you get the pins from your gym, so that you can trade them....But I could be wrong. That's just how my gym does it.

Where do the gyms order the pins?

 

[StillTheDeal 2010]

Good question. Maybe from wherever they order the rest of the inventory they got for the entire pro shop/gym store. You can probably ask the person who runs you gym's pro shop/gym store.

last yr at can am we gafe out the round inexpensive pins with my daughters gym on them to anyone that wanted one until we ran out. i have a button maker so it wasnt too expensive to do but i looked at that cheer pin site and that is just way to much to spend per pin for my blood.
