Ordered in three days, with none of the previous year's questions
The full account
The only review that counts
In 2024 the Buford Wolves ordered 110 pins for one team, having never bought pins before, asking what belongs on them and how many a ten-player roster needs.
In 2025 they came back for 9U, 10U and 11U — three teams, three designs, one purchase order.
Nothing on a website demonstrates a supplier works better than a customer returning at three times the size.
Priced as a club, not as three teams
The important mechanical detail:
"We will give you Combo prices for all teams ordered"
Three teams quoting separately are three orders, each sitting on its own rung of the quantity ladder, each paying its own freight. Quoted together, the volumes add up and the whole club reaches one rate:
| Quantity | Per pin |
|---|---|
| 200 | $2.35 |
| 300 | $1.90 |
Forty-five cents a pin between those two rungs. A single 9U team might reach 200 on its own; three teams together clear 300 comfortably.
Each team still gets its own design — V1C, V2A, V3A, one per age group. Combined pricing does not mean a shared pin. Each design needs its own mould, and that cost is real, but it is the only part that doesn't benefit from combining.
What disappeared
Read the 2024 thread and it is full of questions: how many, what goes on it, will the text fit. Read this one and there are almost none. Three days from enquiry to order.
That is what a repeat customer looks like from the inside. The second order is not just bigger — it is faster, because the club already knows what it is buying.
The lesson for other clubs
If your organisation runs several teams in the same season and they are all ordering pins separately, they are all paying more than they need to. One order, several designs, one shipment.
Why this one is here
As the after picture, and as the strongest single argument in the library — a club that tried it with one team and came back for the whole age group.

The banner threshold
This order sat under the threshold, so no banner was included. At the time the line fell at 1,000 pins at 2.0 inches or larger: the size step cost $0.20 more per pin — $1.07 to $1.27 — and brought a free 3ft × 6ft banner plus 100 bonus gold-metal or blackout pins with it.
Worth checking before you commit to a quantity: the bigger pin is frequently the cheaper total order.

Questions this order answers
Say so up front. Artwork is kept on file, so a repeat order can start from your existing design instead of a blank page, and a reorder that reuses the same die skips the mould charge.
Several accounts here have ordered across two, three and four seasons — and reference to a previous pin is often the fastest way to explain what you want.

Glitter is a finish, so it applies to any pin type — standard, spinner or slider alike. It is mixed into the enamel of a chosen colour rather than applied on top, so it will not rub off.
It is specified per colour: one glitter colour, or several. Commonly it lands on a single accent area — the shape of a state, a star, a puck. A 1,500-pin association order ran one glitter colour across the whole run; another design used gold glitter only on the state-shaped element.

No. Every figure in this library is what one team was quoted for one order, on the day they asked. It is published as a record, not as a price list.
Quantity and size move it most: the break runs about $0.20 per pin for every hundred pins, and the range here goes from a 1,500-pin corporate run at 1.25 inch to a 3 inch dangler with glitter. Pin type and finish are priced per pin on top of that — a spinner was $0.65 more per pin on one order, glitter is $0.10 per pin per glitter colour.
Timing is separate again. Six weeks ahead of your date carries no delivery or rush charge; four weeks adds a $40 delivery charge; three weeks adds $40 plus a $75 rush fee. The pins are manufactured in China and are subject to US import tariffs, disclosed on the quote rather than at invoice.
