Pin-demonium hits Paris: Inside the pin-trading market at the Olympics

Olympic pins are worn by a volunteer in Paris, France, prior to the start of the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics, Friday, July 26, 2024.

Domenican Republic's Cristian Pinales wears olympic pins on his lanyard as he gets a thumbs up from an acquaintance outside the Olympic Village, at the 2024 Summer Olympics, Tuesday, July 23, 2024, in Paris, France. IOC President Thomas Bach gives out pins to members of the Turkey men's artistic gymnastics team as he tours the gym at the Olympic Village ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics, Monday, July 22, 2024, in Paris, France.

“Do you have any pins?” a Starbucks barista asks every journalist who comes in for coffee at the Palais des Congrès, the Olympics’ main press center. “Paris has been very good for pin collecting because after the pandemic, where you could not trade pins so much in Tokyo and Beijing, people are very excited,” Wolaver explains.

Traders can spot each other from a distance, admiring each other’s weighty collection. The sight of a fellow collector’s vibrant display is often more than enough to spark a conversation.“It was just a nice way to meet people,” adds Arr Alansod, sitting next to him in the street.
