Custom Trading Pins and Pin Trading
Custom Pin Trading started gaining popularity about 10 years ago in Little League Baseball Tournaments. Teams would bring baseball Trading Pins to each tournament to trade with players from other baseball teams that they were competing against. This was a great opportunity for the kids to make lasting friendships off the field and have memorable keepsakes that last a lifetime.
Today Custom Trading Pins are popular among most team sports, not just Baseball. Every year we design and produce thousands of trading pins for soccer, softball, hockey, football, and basketball teams for events like Disney, Destination Imagination, and Odyssey of the Mind.
Most tournaments have a Pin Trading ceremony where all of the teams get together to trade pins with each other. This event is the highlight of the tournament or event for the kids.
Trading Power for your Lapel Pins
Based on your lapel trading pins design, size and options it will have a certain level of trading power during tournaments. Example; a baseball Trading Pin with glitter colors and a dangler may trade 2 for 1 with a pin without these options. It is our goal here at Lapel Pins 4 Less to insure that your team has the most sought after Trading Pins at your tournament.

Danglers are used to designate special interest in your tournament, like the year of the tournament, a baseball, a glove, a softball, your state, your flag, the American flag, and many other possibilities. Most common danglers designate the year of the tournament. Example: teams can use the same trading pins design year after year and we can update the dangler each year to represent the current tournament.
