Trading Pins
I’ve got a cousin who has a bit of an obsession. She is a collector of trading pins. I’m sure you have seen these people before. They often can be spotted wearing vests that you can’t really see at all because they are covered in pins. My cousin has a vest like that. It must weigh a couple of pounds.
I went with her to a trading show or whatever they call them over a recent weekend. I am not into the pin collecting thing at all, but I have to say that the people there were very nice and they acted like they were all in one big sorority or fraternity or something. I walked around with my cousin and she traded some pins with people and then bought a few pins. I even broke down and bought one just to remember the event. I never realized that there were so many hardcore pin collectors out there. It isn’t anything I’d want to do every weekend, but for a once in a while thing it was a nice day.
