Cooperstown Trading Pins

Cooperstown trading pins are a core part of tournament weeks.  Cooperstown, NY plays host to the year's largest, longest and most exciting baseball world series tournaments.  A huge part of the Cooperstown Dreams Park experience is pin trading, and we make Cooperstown pins for thousands of teams!  At Cooperstown, trading pins are traded with players from other teams.  Siblings even get in on it with their own designs.  Even some of the coaches and umpires!  Check our most recent custom Cooperstown pins.

What kind of trading pin should you get for Cooperstown?

Soft enamel pins are the first and most popular choice for Cooperstown pins.  We estimate that about 85%-90% of Cooperstown trading pins are soft enamel (sometimes called die struck with color added) and the remainder are photoscreen pins.  Soft enamel pins take longer to make, so order early & put your mind at ease.

What size pin should I order?  Not too small please!  You will thank us later for this advice.  Small pins are usually shunned.  Cooperstown trading pins are typically bigger and fancier than other world series trading pins.  The average Cooperstown pin size is 2.00"-2.50".  Be smart too... don't splurge on a dangler or a blinking LED eyes for an undersized trading pin.  Get a good size first, then if budget permits go for the extras you want.  Big pins are better than small pins with bling. But the design is king, and our highly creative designers come up with the hottest trading pins at Cooperstown, year after year!

How many Cooperstown pins do I need?  Cooperstown trading pin orders are some of the largest world series trading pin orders we make.  Be sure to get enough pin for each player on your team to trade with each of the other teams there.  If you have eleven players & there are 104 teams, you'll need almost 1200 pins.

Should all our pins be the same?  Absolutely not.  At Cooperstown, you cannot show up with 1200 "ballfield / crossed bats / numbered ball" pins.  Those days are in the past, and we promise you'll end up bringing half of them home with you.  Love the traditional ball team pins?  Get some, but remember that these are for TRADING.  You want others to want your pins!  Let us help you make things fun!  When we send you a wild design, show it to your kids and see what they say!

How can I ensure we have the best trading pin experience?

With Rare, Limited-Edition, unique pin sets!  You should take at least one outside-the-box design with you, if not more!  The more wild it is, the better!  It's got to be something that will make the kids (and some parents) go crazy!  Cooperstown trading pins are some of the most unique world series pins we make.

These days teams go out of their way to come up with the most-coveted trading pin at the park and we love to help them do it!  Which will trade better with your kid... a regular 2" ball team pin or a 4" gold-chained Gozilla sliding into home plate wearing your jersey?

And don't forget your player's siblings... they like to watch their brothers play ball and chase foul balls, but they love trading pins at the Cooperstown World Series (and snacks).  Make their pins pure fun... they don't even need a team name on them!
