The full account
Not the Cleveland you assumed
The team is the Cleveland All-Stars. The state is Mississippi, not Ohio — Cleveland sits in Bolivar County, in the Delta. Nothing but the enquiry form settles that, which is exactly why the form is the source of record for every location on this site.
Dizzy Dean
The event came in on the form too, in the message field:
"Softball Pin for Dizzy Dean World Series"
Dizzy Dean Baseball runs its own World Series across several age divisions, and it sits alongside Cooperstown and USSSA as one of the fixtures that drives pin ordering. This is the first record in the library to name it.
$1.90 a pin
The quote was a single line:
"qty 300 2" die struck soft enamel (made of iron) are BASE price $1.90 per pin"
Price shown is what this order was quoted at, for this quantity, size and specification, on this date. It is not a current price list.
The customer's reply was equally short:
"I will need 300 at $1.90 a pin"
quoted for this order only — quoted for that order only.
That is the lowest base price anywhere in this library. It is what the 2 inch iron die struck build costs at volume, and it is worth knowing if you have been quoted more elsewhere for the same specification.
The order went in with one glitter colour, proof D1.
A note on what this page does not say
The purchase order raised the same day records a different quantity from the one the customer confirmed in writing. Rather than pick whichever number suited the page, this record carries no quantity at all until the discrepancy is settled with the shop.
That is the standing rule here: where the paperwork and the customer disagree, the page stays silent rather than guessing.

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
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.
Sourced — Multiple 2025–26 orders
Two inches or larger is the working floor for tournament trading — smaller pins get passed over. Sizes run from 2 inches up to 6.
One little league's four orders across three years show the migration in practice: they started at 1.25 inches and moved to 2.0. Larger sizes also unlock the banner threshold, which is why the bigger pin often costs less in total.

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.
