Exchanging pins was a tradition at the 1896 Olympics. For the first time in modern and official, Olympic Games and athletes were given small pins to identify themselves.
As an expression of sportsmanship, athletes exchange their pins. Later, pins or badges were designed specifically for Olympic athletes to trade before or after a race. Hence the art of baseball trading pins.
It's a historical and chronological way to show people good sportsmanship, and having a vintage baseball pin is a symbol of love for baseball.
If your current collection of baseball pins does not include an old-fashioned baseball pin, consider buying one.
Trading in baseball pins became particularly popular in the early 20th century. If you're familiar with the business, you can even find a rare 1940s baseball pin.
Old pins, especially in 1940, were owned by some of the most prestigious people. The antique plated baseball pin has a retro appearance, and the antique plated material is copper plated and silver-plated, etc. It combines ancient and modern art to produce new creativity, which is deeply loved by collectors.
