Little League Regionals Are The Place for Trading Pins!
Rick Cundiff - May 24, 2019
The sights and sounds of baseball are in the air. Little League Regionals for this year are already underway. The Australian region champions have already been determined, and the other international division tourneys are gearing up. United States divisions are getting ready for regionals fast approaching in early August.
Order as Early as You Can
With the U.S. regionals looming, NOW is the time to order custom trading pins if you want to get them in time for the big game. This is peak trading pin season, and every trading pin factory is swamped with orders. That means longer waits for pin production. The best way to avoid pin panic and make sure your team has trading pins for Little League Regionals and the big games is to order as soon as possible.
It's a simple fact. Pin orders that would take two weeks or so in May will require three to four weeks in June and July. Production capacity worldwide is stretched to its limits this time of year when every team playing wants pins.
Keep in mind it's not just Little League. Teams going to other tournaments such as Cooperstown Dream Park, Cooperstown Baseball World, Cal Ripken tournaments and others also are ordering trading pins. You don't want your team to be caught short when the trading starts.
Be Sure To Order Enough
If you're wondering how many trading pins to order, a good rule of thumb is 50 per player for Little League Regionals, and at least 100 per player for the Little League World Series. The same ratios apply to other leagues as well. Don't risk seeing your players disappointed by running out of pins when the trading gets hot and heavy.

If you're not quite certain about your pin design, don't worry.
