skscorpion Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 NOC pin update: Received a letter in mail today from Frankfurt (I know the German NOC is located there) so I will find out if/what I received something from them and will post on here. Very cool, and if I did receive something from them, I will send a reply to them with Tausend Dank! or Mit tiefer Dankbarkeit!

crazywoody Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 i already received my pin from the Finnish Olympic Committee. which one did you get? the flag and rings one? Can you post an image? Thanks, crazywoody
skscorpion Posted November 20, 2009 Report Posted November 20, 2009 I have to say I am quite disappointed with Sportsnet. our university International Studies Club is holding a fundraiser and I am contacting corporations for pins. This is their response. Please note, I am not asking for the pins for my personal collection Hello Shawn, Thanks for your recent email. As you have already requested for and received one from us in June, we are not able to provide you with another one due to a limited supply. Our apologies for any inconvenience that this may cause. We ask that you do not email us again with this request. Jim LaChapelle Audience Relations Here is what I wrote in my request: Hello! My name is Shawn . I was wondering if Sportsnet has any pins promoting the Vancouver/Whistler 2010 Olympics. I am a member of the University of Regina's International Studies Club, and we are looking for Olympic pins as part of a fundraiser we will be running. I am aware of the official VANOC pins that are available at HBC stores. If there are any available, how can I obtain them? I'm interested in obtaining two: one for myself and the other for trading. Thanks. and my response to his e-mail: Dear Mr. LaChapelle, First of all I want to acknowledge that corporations such as Sportsnet have limited amounts of pins. However, I would like to point out I am not asking for pins for myself, but rather the International Studies Club at our university as part of a fundraising raffle. please be assured I will not be requesting anymore 2010 Olympic sponsor pins from Sportsnet
PinPanda Posted November 20, 2009 Report Posted November 20, 2009 That's unfortunate. But it looks like your request did ask for pins for the fundraiser, and then one for yourself and one for trading. (Or was that a combo of both of your requests?)
crazywoody Posted November 22, 2009 Report Posted November 22, 2009 I love the Italians! About a month ago I sent them a letter asking for some pins and this week they sent me three different Italian NOC Pins, an Atlanta 1996 Italian Team Pin and a Torino 2006 Italian Team Pin. Also received four pins (two of each different type) from the BC Government in response to a request sent in March. Herllo German Canadian Pinhead, Could you please PM me the email address you used for the BC Government pins and Italian NOC Pins? Thanks so much, crazywoody

But it looks like your request did ask for pins for the fundraiser, and then one for yourself and one for trading. (Or was that a combo of both of your requests?) Yes, sadly I mistakenly worded the request like that. However, when I sent the same to other sponsors , they did not reply in the same manner, and hopefully will be getting some, as it was more positive from them. I was hoping to get 2 for the second request. (Only got 1 the first time) Plan was to possibly get whoever wins to start pin trading themselves
Van1998 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 Does anyone know where CTV will be giving out their next pin? It was anounced last night on their news but I missed the part where they mention the location. The next pin I belive it will feature a snowboarder.

Pifate Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 Victor, send them a cheques for EUR 5, I am sure they will be fine with it. I now ask if they were with EUR but said me only like $CAD.
Van1998 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 I now ask if they were with EUR but said me only like $CAD. I don't understand why they are being difficult about it. If I deposit a US $ cheque into my bank, they will accept it and then adjust my account balance once they make the conversion. Not sure how I can help you.
memorabilia Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) Does anyone know where CTV will be giving out their next pin? It was anounced last night on their news but I missed the part where they mention the location. The next pin I belive it will feature a snowboarder. I walked in front of CTV offices yesterday and saw the queue and the poster announcing the pin's distribution. Question to our Vancouver's members : how often do they organize that ? And what those pins so special ? Is there possible to see them somewhere ? Edited November 28, 2009 by memorabilia

And what those pins so special ? Is there possible to see them somewhere ? They don't have a public schedule; they announce the next date during the news hour. You can see some of the pins on ebay or on their website (only pictures). The pins are very nice, some of the nicer ones issued for these Olympics.
Bob Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 The Olympic Super Store got a few new Coca Cola pins in today ... including a large truck pin ($15) and a red ice surfacer and a black ice resurfacer pin ($12 each).
Van1998 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 Does anyone have an inside into how to get the pins that Wrigley has issued? I think there are three of them, at least according to what I see on ebay.
