All BID PINS are shown in the order in which they were produced and released. All BID PINS were
only given out to staff, volunteers, special guests and dignitaries who visited the VANOC Offices or
for IOC dignitaries who were visited by VANOC. In all but a few cases each pin was produced in
very low quantities. Look for the “Rating” which denotes the scarcity of each pin. There were three
pin manufacturers during the bid phase, Executive Promotions, Kerr’s and Artiss-Regina. ARTISSREGINA
is now known as ARTISS AMINCO© |

PIN RATINGS
I have used a rating system to try to evaluate the possible perceived collector's value a trader may attach to a particular pin. These ratings are not definitive, they are subjective, and based on production quatities as I know them and availability from my perspective. Other collector's may have different views based on their own personal experience. |
