Olympic Hockey Pins: 2006 Men's & Women's Participating Country Flags

2006 Men's & Women's Participating Country Flags

I have previously blogged about various participating country flag pins, and what I call "Circle of Flag" pins, which I believe began in 1988 during the Calgary Winter Olympic Games. The pins shown here are the Circle of Flag pins for the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Torino, Italy. The pin on the left depicts the flags of the twelve men's hockey teams that participated in the 2010 tournament, while the pin on the right depicts the flags of the eight women's teams that competed in Torino.

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.
