I am trying to make a collection of these pins.  These are the white rectangular pins that were, during the Games, available only at the event site.  They have a splash or swatch of color across the face with a figure in gold performing the event and the torch mark.  The pins all have 'Centennial Olympic Games' on the face and also '1996 Olympic event name'.  They state the location or venue the event was performed.  Most of the pins have a number on the back, but they do not all have a number.  They were made by Imprinted products in China.  Most have the sand cast type back but some do have a series of arches on the back. I am presently aware of 27 pins in this series.  There are at least 2 error pins, a tennis figure with cycling written.  Also a pin with the figure with a big right hand swing, like the baseball pin, with softball written that is the numbered pin (613664).  The softball pin that is most common has no number on the back and a left hand swing.  There could conceivably be 39 different venue pins based on events and locations used during the Games.

Based on the numbering scheme there are two numbers that I do not know which or if there is a pin to go with the numbers.  The numbers are 613624 and 613684.

I would like to get an accurate count as well as each pin.  Please let me know what you have seen out there.  The pins that are question, are the 12 following combinations:  Archery at Stone Mountain, Kayak/Canoe Slalom at Ocoee Whitewater Center, Road Cycling in Buckhead, Soccer in Orlando, Soccer in Washington DC, Soccer in Birmingham, Soccer in Miami, Modern Pentathlon at different sites, Rowing at Lake Lanier, Volleyball at the Omni, Volleyball at UGA, and Yachting in Savannah.

If you would like to see my collection to this point go to my Venue Pin Collection page.

Thanks,
