The Canadian Olympic hockey team first began producing player-by-player pins in 2002 and continued the trend in 2006. However, the pins produced for both 2002 and 2006 are of low quality (non-cloisonne). Indeed, I obtained the entire 24-pin Toronto Sun Team Canada hockey pin set for $14.00 USD.In 2010, for the Winter Games in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the Canadian Olympic hockey team produced a better quality player-by-player jersey pin set, though still not true cloisonne pins. The full 23-pin set is difficult to come by, and buying each pin on a one-by-one basis is very time consuming. Generally, the value of each pin is approximately $7.00 to $10.00 USD. However, after Sidney Crosby scored the winning goal in the Olympic gold medal game, I saw his number 87 jersey pin sell for over $105.00--incredible!!!
