1988-1992-1994 German Olympic Hockey Pins

For the 1988 Calgary, 1992 Albertville and 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympic Games, Germany produced a hat-trick of NOC hockey pins that featured both the German flag and the flag of the host nation (Canada, France and Norway, respectively). Also featured in the center of the pin are two crossed hockey sticks beneath the classic Deutscher Eishockey Bund logo (this German phrase translates to "German Ice Hockey Federation"), which logo is also featured on various German NOC hockey pins produced for each of the nine Winter Olympic Games dating from 1980 until the most recent 2010 Winter Olympic Games.

$$ Olympic Pin Values $$

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.
