<p>I was warned that pin trading is a HUGE part of every Olympic Games and Scales &#038; kk couldn&#8217;t have been more right</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/retrocactus/4382096697/" title="Pin Mania by John Biehler, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4002/4382096697_ca11ac817b.jpg" width="500" height="332" alt="Pin Mania" /></a></p>
<p>These guys are HUGE pinheads <img src='http://2010.johnbiehler.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/retrocactus/4378880845/" title="Kris Krug: Pin Trader by John Biehler, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2792/4378880845_eaf847bd5e.jpg" width="500" height="332" alt="Kris Krug: Pin Trader" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/retrocactus/4366553478/" title="Robert Scales: Pin Trader by John Biehler, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4012/4366553478_b7fd6a03c7.jpg" width="332" height="500" alt="Robert Scales: Pin Trader" /></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s just a small sampling of what I scored during the games:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/retrocactus/4399139051/" title="Yeah, I got a few Olympic pins by John Biehler, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2614/4399139051_fcb1324dc1.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Yeah, I got a few Olympic pins" /></a></p>
<p>Of course, the fact that Apple had Canadian pins was pretty cool:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/retrocactus/4356339637/" title="Scored my Apple pin! #van2010 #tnmh by John Biehler, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4032/4356339637_d7b4ab1fbf.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Scored my Apple pin! #van2010 #tnmh" /></a></p>
<p>But this is probably my most prized pin gift given to me by a Samsung Executive during a press conference where they announced they were an official sponsor of the Paralympic Winter Games:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/retrocactus/4399464811/" title="Samsung Mobile Pins by John Biehler, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4003/4399464811_9d545b004b.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Samsung Mobile Pins" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;m quite a pinhead yet&#8230;but I can certainly see the appeal. We&#8217;ll have to see what happens in London&#8230;</p>
