How long have you been collecting? On and off for a few years

How many pins do you own? 50

I started collecting pins in 2004 when I attended the Athens Olympics. I met a few Americans who introduced me to the idea of trading.

Since then I have traded pins at training camps and have continued to collect pins from sporting events.

As a 2012 Games Maker I have already started collecting Olympic pins and I am looking forward to trading with others.
