These pins are similar to those featured in yesterday's blog entry, but these smaller and lower quality versions were not produced until long after the 2002 games had ended. Each pin was made as a promotional give away item for fans that attended Utah Grizzlies hockey games on December 13, 2002 (bronze pin), January 18, 2003 (silver pin) and February 8, 2003 (gold pin). The Utah Grizzlies play their home games in the E-Center (now named the Maverick Center), which was one of the venues for ice hockey during the 2002 Games. The Salt Lake City logo on each of these pins is black, as opposed to the colored logo on the original pins. There was a limited number of 2002 of each of these pins made, but unlike the originals these pins are not individually and sequentially numbered. Each of these pins has a value of $8.00 USD, though I have seen the gold pin in this series sell for up to $20.00 USD.
