2010 Western Union Money Mart Unofficial Pin

This "unofficial" Olympic pin was made for the 2010 Winter Games held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The pin was distributed by Western Union's Money Mart stores in Vancouver and has a value of $7.00 USD. During the 2010 Games, many of the local retailers got into the spirit of the Games and supported the home Canadian team by adopting the "Believe" motto, painting store windows (below) and producing pins in support of the Canadian athletes.

Let Me Explain . . .

$$ Olympic Pin Values $$

With nearly every post I try to give an idea of the value of the Olympic pin(s) that are highlighted in the post. I have been a collector for many years, and during that time I have tracked the sale of hundreds of Olympic hockey pins. The values that I post on this blog are based on this research and also, most certainly, are affected by my own subjective feelings about the pin(s), so take them with a grain of salt. Of course, the true value of a pin is what a buyer is willing to pay and what a seller accepts for the item at any given time.
