2014 Jet Set Russian Goalie Mask & Stick

This 2014 pin was made by HONAV for Jet Set Sports and depicts a Russian goaltender's mask and stick, along with the Russian Olympic NOC symbol.  During the 2014 Games, Jet Set was and official supplier of the Russian Olympic Team.  Value on this pin is around $10.00 USD, but during the Sochi Games it was sold for over $30.00 USD.

2014 Samsung Hockey Pin

This nice sized pin, from Olympic sponsor Samsung, is in the shape of a Russian nesting doll and bears a couple of hockey players.  The pin is one of a fifteen pin set from Samsung.  I'd say the value of this pin is about $8.00 USD, but during the games I saw it sell for over $30.00 USD.

2014 Ukrainian NOC Hockey Pin

This NOC pin is unique because the Ukraine did not actually have a team that competed in either the Men's or the Women's Olympic ice hockey tournament in 2014.  Nonetheless, this nicely made Ukrainian ice hockey pin, bearing the official Sochi ice hockey pictogram, was available during the Games.  I would put the value on this pin in the $20.00 to $25.00 range.

2014 Kellogg's Elf Hockey Pin

Here's a cool dual-layered sponsor pin from the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.  This pin is one of a twelve-pin puzzle type set made by Honav for the Kellogg's company.  I would put the actual value on this pin at $12.00 USD, however, during the pin frenzy of the 2014 Games while there was a shortage of pins I saw this one sell for over $105.00 USD.  It is getting more and more difficult to find this pin as a single item apart from the other 11 pins in the Kellogg's set.

2014 Sochi Women's Hockey

 

Here's a pin made for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.  The pin supports the women's hockey tournament and bears the flags of each of the countries participating in the 2014 Games--Russian Federation, Canada, United States, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, Germany and Japan.  The value of this pin is around $9.00 USD, however, I have already seen it sell for over $45.00.  Based on pin activity leading up to prior Olympic Games, it would appear that there may be fewer hockey pins released for the Sochi Games, but only time will tell.  I did read yesterday that the Sochi Games are expected to cost nearly $50 billion dollars, which is more than all other Winter Olympic Games combined (for example, the Salt Lake Games in 2002 cost around $2.5 billion).  Originally it was thought the 2014 Games would cost around $12 billion.  Anyway, there's just sixteen more days until the 2014 Winter Olympics get underway.

2012 Royal Bank of Canada (Round)

This pin is one of several hockey pins produced for the Royal Bank of Canada for the 2010 Winter Olympics held in Vancouver, Canada.  The pin has a value of $9.00 USD, but during the 2010 Games it sold for as much as $46.00 USD.

2014 Greek Hockey Skate Pin

This hockey skate pin was produced for the upcoming 2014 Winter Olympic Games to be held in Sochi, Russia.  The pin is unique for a couple of reasons.  First, it is also made by the Vancouver Olympic Committee, and second because it bears the flag of Greece which has never competed in a Winter Olympic hockey tournament.  The pin has a value of $12.00 USD.

2014 Canadian Hockey Skate Pin

This Canadian hockey skate pin was produced for the upcoming 2014 Winter Olympic Games to be held in Sochi, Russia.  The pin is unique because it is made by the Vancouver Olympic Committee.  The pin has a value of $12.00 USD.

2014 Sochi Russian Hockey Skate Pin No.2

This pin was produced for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, and is the second of the Russian hockey skate equipment pins produced. The pin has a value of $9.00 USD. 

March 12, 2014 post script note: Here is an eagle-eye observation to pin collectors:  notice that the "ru" in this early release pin is outlined in blue, as opposed to being entirely blue letters as is the "sochi" and "2014".  In the later version of this pin released during the 2014 Games, the "ru" is entirely blue like the rest of the letters.  There are also versions of this pin with both the Canadian and United States flags, as opposed to the Russian flag shown in this version of the pin.  So, which version do you have in your collection?

2010 SportsFunder Countdown Hockey Pin

This pin is one of a five pin SportsFunder set produced for the British Columbia Lottery Corporation for the 2010 Winter Games held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. There were 100,000 of these hockey pins produced, so it was pretty easy to add this pin to your collection during the Vancouver Games. The value on this pin is $4.00 USD.
