The best baseball trading pins at any tournament have a few things in common: they are instantly recognizable as belonging to a specific team, they have a design element that makes players want to stop and look, and they are durable enough to survive the whole tournament on a lanyard without fading or scratching. At The Pin Creator, every pin we produce meets those standards because we work exclusively in sports trading pins — it is all we do.
Standard Soft Enamel Baseball Pins
The classic choice. Die-cast zinc with colored enamel fill, a shiny metal border around your design, and a butterfly clutch backing. Available in sizes from 1.25 inches to 3 inches. These are the workhorses of the trading pin world — affordable, durable, and endlessly customizable.
Spinner and Spinning Baseball Pins
A spinning element — usually a baseball or team logo — that rotates on the pin body. Spinners are consistently among the most traded pins at any tournament because kids love pins with moving parts.
Glitter and Blinker Baseball Pins
Pins with glitter fill in the enamel or with embedded LED lights that blink or glow. These are showstoppers at the trading table. If your team wants to be known for having the best pins, a blinker or glitter pin is how you get there.
Bobblehead Baseball Pins
A custom pin where the player’s head or a mascot element bobs on a spring. These are premium pins that generate outsized trading interest and make memorable keepsakes long after the season ends.
Dangler Baseball Pins
A main pin body with one or more hanging elements attached below — perfect for including the year, tournament name, or an additional mascot element without crowding the main design.

We utilize state-of-the-art manufacturing processes to create lapel pins that stand out:
Cloisonné: We craft our hard enamel pins with precision by adding each color one at a time. We polish the surface to achieve a smooth, elegant finish. The final pin features a glass-like shine that exudes quality and sophistication.
Soft Enamel: Soft enamel pins are plated with metal die lines, and enamel colors are added to create a textured, detailed design. These pins offer a unique tactile experience.
Photo Etched: In the photo etched process, we chemically etch the design into the base metal, fill it with color by hand, and then bake it to perfection. A clear epoxy coat can be applied for added protection.
Photo Dome: We print your design on premium vinyl or paper, apply it to a durable metal pin base, and finish with a clear epoxy dome for lasting color and shine.
Screen Printed: Silkscreen pins use direct color application on the metal base for sharp, solid designs. A thin epoxy coat protects the artwork and enhances durability, making them perfect for simple, vibrant designs with crisp detail.
4-Color Process: This process is perfect for detailed artwork and photos, allowing smooth color blends and unlimited colors for maximum design flexibility.
Attachment Options:We offer a variety of attachment styles to suit your preference, including butterfly clutches, jewelry clutches, safety clasps, magnetic clasps, screws and nuts, and stick pins.

Baseball trading pins are custom collectible pins made for youth and amateur baseball teams to trade with opponents at tournaments. Each team creates a unique pin featuring their team name, logo, colors, and season year. Players trade pins with teams from other cities, states, and regions, building collections that become lasting memories of their baseball experience. Trading pin culture is especially strong at national tournaments like Cooperstown Dreams Park, Little League Regionals, and USSSA World Series events.
Most teams order between 75 and 200 baseball trading pins per season. A good starting point is to plan for each player to have 5 to 10 pins per tournament — enough to trade generously without running out. For a single major tournament like Cooperstown, many teams order 100 to 150 pins for a 12-player roster. Always order more than you think you need, as running out of pins mid-tournament is a common regret.
Custom baseball trading pins cost between $2.50 and $6.00 per pin for most standard styles, with specialty options like spinner pins, blinker pins, and bobblehead pins ranging higher. The final price depends on pin size, style, quantity ordered, and design complexity. The Pin Creator provides free quotes and free digital proofs so you know exactly what you are getting before committing to production.
Order at least 4 to 6 weeks before your tournament to allow time for design, production, and shipping with no stress. Standard production takes 12 to 15 business days after design approval, plus shipping time. Rush production options are available for tighter timelines, typically delivering in 7 to 10 business days. For major events like Cooperstown, ordering 8 weeks in advance gives you comfortable buffer for design revisions.
Yes. Many teams order personalized baseball trading pins with individual player names, jersey numbers, or positions printed or engraved on each pin. This adds a special touch and makes each player feel their pin is truly their own. Personalized pins can be ordered as a full roster set and are a popular option for end-of-season keepsakes and championship commemorative pins.
