1998 Shell Oil Hockey Pin

If you haven't seen this pin before, well, I guess welcome to your very first day of pin collecting! This pin was made for Shell Oil and was one of a series of sports pins produced for the 1988 Winter Games in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. And, this pin is everywhere! According to the Coca-Cola Company's Pin Collector’s Guide of the 1988 Winter Olympic Games there were 325,100 of these pins made. That must be a typo, right? Well, based on the pin's extremely high production count, and the simplicity of tracking this pin down, I would say the pin has a value of not more than $5.00 USD.
