I hope so, because I have a whole stinking bag of 'em after this week's auction:
Now, the question you shouldn't be asking is "Why in the hell would you buy a bag of San Diego Padre Pins?" You shouldn't ask that because it's not specific enough of a quesiton. See, it's a bag of San Diego Padre pins for season ticket holders for the 1991 season.
Then, the question you shouldn't be asking is, "Why in the hell would you buy a bag of 1991 San Diego Padre season ticket holder pins?" You shouldn't ask because I don't really know. I guess I did it because I have a very humble pin collection that I would love to get into to a larger degree someday. I'm hoping my little girl will think they're cool and want to do it with me. So I figure I can trade these off for other pins at some point. I have a couple of bags of Gateway Computer Winter Olympic pins with that same goal in mind.
Besides the bag only cost me $3. I guesstimate there are about 50 pins in the bag, so I spent just over a nickel a pin. I'll probably put a couple up on listia, and of course will be happy to trade you kind folks for any, and I do mean ANY pin you might have to spare (I really like corporate logo pins BTW). So it wasn't a stupid purchase, so there.

Bag O' Pins: $3 A- Sure I didn't need these, but value is value.

I'd like one! I have a whole set of San Francisco pins (dated 2011, I think) that I could send you if you want to make this a slightly bigger trade. I have to find them... they are around here somewhere.
I do the same thing all the time. On Friday, I purchased a collection off of Craigslist for $50. 95% of it was 2013 Topps MLS. Yup soccer cards. But it was a really good deal and my goal is to flip it so I can buy something I want.
I have a ton of Disney pins I'd be happy to swap!
Sure Andrew, can you send me an email and we'll figure out something?
