23/3: New Team GB Pins 'RIO' and 100 DTG
Two news pins have been released by Team GB in the run up to Rio 2016.
The first is a brilliant design combining the medal colours to form the word 'RIO'. In my opinion one of the simplest yet effective designs we've seen.
This pin is limited to 1,000 pieces and available now.
The other new release is a 100 day to go pin.
This pin is a gold coloured pin with the Team GB logo in relief rather than coloured. It combines distinctive elements of the Rio skyline namely Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain together with the 100 DAYS TO GO caption, the date and the Team GB logo.
This pin will be available soon but can be preordered. It is limited to only 500 pieces.

The next in the series of official Team GB pins leading up to Rio 216 has been announced.
This time, Pride the Lion is driving a Christmas sleigh being pulled by Rudolph.
This time, Pride the Lion is driving a Christmas sleigh being pulled by Rudolph.
A picture of the artwork is available and the pin will be approximately 48mm x 40mm, so a fairly large pin this time.
Circulation is limited to 500 like the first pin and no word on pricing at the moment.
I imagine that this pin will be available from the same retailers as the first pin. More details as soon as I have them.

18/10: New Team GB Pin
As Team GB prepare for Rio in 2016, the first in a new range of official Team GB supporter pins has been released.
The pin is numbered TS0001 and combines the Team GB logo and Olympic rings with the wording 'Believe In Extraordinary'.
I understand there will be a number of official Team GB supporter pins produced in the run up to the next summer Olympic Games.
This first pin is limited to 500 copies and over 50% have already been sold, so it seems likely that this first pin will sell out and be one of the harder ones to pick up nearer Games time.
It is available from

30/1: Sailing Pin Error
Gary from Tragars Collectables has contacted me to point out that the pin sets for Sailing sold during the Games contain an error. The date printed on the venue pin (1270) is '29/08 - 11/08/2012' whereas the correct dates were 29/07 - 11/08/2012.
It seems that all the sets sold at the time have the error. I've checked my set and the website photo and they are both wrong!
It appears that the incorrect pin was the first version, Honav spotted it and had the reprint made, but these never made it to the sets.
Gary has a few of the correct version if you are a completist who needs to have the correct version!

23/10: Sports Pose Pin - Greco-Roman Wrestling
Scanning eBay this evening, I came across a pin which was rare to say the least during the Games. I think I only know of about 3 or 4 in the hands of collectors.
It's one of the sports pose venue pins - Greco Roman Wresting (1916)
It's one of the sports pose venue pins - Greco Roman Wresting (1916)
This was one of the pins that seemed to appear at the Olympic Park for one afternoon in 2012 and was never seen again. I always thought that boxes of pins had been hidden at the back of a cupboard during the Games - maybe it was true!
Take a look at Tragars Collectables on eBay if this is one that you need for your collection. I see that the Archery pose in is there too - another rare one.
