Olympic Hockey Pins: 2002 Smith's Marketplace Olympic Goalie Cow Pin

2002 Smith's Marketplace Olympic Goalie Cow Pin

This is a fun hockey pin produced for a local grocery store chain, Smith's Marketplace, for the 2002 Winter Games held in Salt Lake City, Utah. The pin features a dairy cow geared up in goaltender pads. I think this pin is hilarious because of the play on words as "Goalie Cow" sounds a lot like the "Holy Cow" phrase that long time Chicago Cubs announcer Harry Caray made famous. The value on this pin is $6.00 USD.

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.
