Identificar los factores que determinan el costo y el valor de un pin.

COST is determined by:

• Quality of the pin/what material it is made from: Metal pins costs more than plastic pins; there are different qualities of metal pins; buttons or handmade pins are usually less expensive.
• Size: Bigger pins cost more than smaller pins.
• The number of colors used: The addition of more colors can sometimes add to the cost.
• The type and number of pin backs used to hold it on: Locking clutches cost more than rubber or butterfly clutches; two pin backs cost more than one pin back.
• Accessories or embellishments, such as spinners, danglers, etc.: These can add to the cost of a pin.

VALUE may be determined by:

• The cost and quality of a pin.
• How rare a pin is or how difficult it is to get.
• How beautiful or interesting or desirable the pin is to YOU, regardless of the cost or quality.

Ultimately, YOU are the one who places value on a pin based on how much you like the pin, how special it is to you for whatever reason, and how much you are willing to trade for it. Just because someone tells you that a pin is valuable because not very many were made doesn’t necessarily make it valuable to YOU if it’s not a pin that you like or want to add to your collection.

Die cast pins are created by injecting liquid metal into a rubber mold which is then spun at a high revolution to ensure uniformity. As the metal cools and hardens, the lapel pins get their shape. Die cast pins can have intricate cut-outs and three-dimensional sculpturing that is not achievable with die struck pins.

Discutir cómo la «Regla de Oro» aplica a la etiqueta del intercambio de pins.

The Golden Rule comes from Matthew 7:12:

“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.”
-- Matthew 7:12 (NIV)

When pin trading, you should always treat other pin traders the same way you want to be treated. If you don’t want to receive a broken pin, then don’t give someone else a broken pin. If you don’t want your pins stolen, then don’t steal someone else’s pins. If you don’t want to be pressured to trade a pin, then don’t pressure someone else. If you don’t like being interrupted during a trade, then don’t interrupt others. If you don’t like people grabbing or touching your pins without permission, then don’t do that to others.

Completar dos de las siguientes actividades relacionadas con el intercambio de pins:

8a

Coleccionar un «conjunto» completo de pins en uno de los lugares para intercambiar pins.

If you are trying to collect a complete set of pins, it is important to find out how many pins there are in the set you are interested in. Sets may range in size from two pins to ten or more pins. In some sets, the pins are all alike except that they come in a number of different colors, and sometimes there may be one special pin that contains all the colors. In other sets, each pin in the set is different. In some sets, each pin can stand alone, and in other sets, you need the whole set in order to have a complete picture, because the pieces fit together like a puzzle. Sometimes one pin in the set will have a higher value than the other pins in the set because there were fewer made, and so it is harder to find. You may have to trade extra pins to get that one more valuable pin in order to complete the set.

8b

Coleccionar al menos dos pins gratis de quioscos de exhibición en un campamento, convención, demostración comercial u otro evento.

Trade shows, conventions, or special events often have exhibit booths that give out free items, and some of these booths may give out free pins. SDA organizations and institutions, such as academies, colleges, universities, TV stations, ADRA, food industries, or publishing institutions often set up exhibit booths at places such as Pathfinder Camporees, Camp Meetings, ASI, or General Conference sessions, and some of these booths may give out free pins. This is a great way to get some free pins for trading.

8c

Hacer un libro de exhibición de pins para mostrar su colección de pins.

One way to do this is to buy pieces of felt or craft foam, put tape along one edge to make it stronger, then punch holes in the edge with the tape. You can then put the pages in a three-ring binder. It is a good idea to put extra felt or foam pages between the pin pages so your pins won't get scratched. If you like you can decorate your binder. Or you can come up with your own design for making a pin book.

8d

Hacer dos o más pins hecho a mano para intercambiar.

You can make your own pins for trading. You can turn just about any small item into a pin by attaching a pin back or safety pin to it. Pin backs can be purchased online or at a craft store. One idea is to make beaded safety pin designs. If you do an Internet search for “beaded safety pin flags” or “beaded safety pin patterns” you can find lots of free patterns for flags or other fun designs. For more ideas on how to make other handmade pins, you can do an Internet search for “Girl Scout SWAPS.” Get creative!

8e

Hacer una exhibición de su colección de pins en la iglesia para un Sábado de Conquistador, en una feria de Conquistadores o en otro evento como una feria estatal o del condado.

If you want to display your pins for Pathfinder Sabbath or at a Pathfinder Fair, check with your Pathfinder Director to see if you can do this. Set up your display of pins in an appealing way so you can get other Pathfinders or Adventurers excited about getting the Pin Trading Honor someday. If your state or county has a fair, you may be able to display your collection of pins there.

8f

Presentar un diseño al club o asociación de un pin de intercambio para un campamento.

If your club or conference is planning to design a pin for a camporee, and if you are creative and have a good idea, you can draw your design and submit it to your club or conference. This requirement will be fulfilled just by submitting your design, even if your club or conference chooses a different design to actually use for the pin.

8g

Escribir dos cartas o más a su ciudad, estado, provincia o a compañías que patrocinan eventos deportivos o los Juegos Olímpicos, y preguntar si tienen pins. Si le mandan un pin gratis, asegúrese de mandar una carta de agradecimiento.

Tips for Writing Letters

• Many companies and organizations will send you a free pin(s) by simply writing them a letter.
• Get your parents or Pathfinder staff to help you find the names and addresses for sports

associations or federations, National Olympics Committees, and companies who sponsor events like the Olympics or other sporting events. Many will send you a free pin if you write and ask.

• You can go to the Olympics web site and see who the sponsor companies are.
• The more letters you send, the more free pins you are likely to receive. One girl wrote to 77 companies, and 55 of them sent her over 250 pins!
• Write your letter by hand and send it the old-fashioned way, in a stamped envelope.
• Tell the company how old you are, what you like to do, what you like to collect, and that you would love to have one of their pins.
• Always offer to pay for the pin. Most companies will not ask you to pay but will send you a pin for free.
• If you are writing to other countries, make the letter simple and try to say something nice about

their country. It helps you learn about other countries too.

• If you are writing to other countries, be sure to use the proper amount of postage. (Check wit the Post Office.)
• If you ask nicely, the pins will start coming. Then it's so much fun to get mail!
• Always be sure to write a thank you note if you get a free pin.

Realizar una de las siguientes actividades para ayudar a una persona nueva en el intercambio de pins, entonces hablar de su experiencia con otra persona o en un grupo:

9a

Ser un defensor de una persona nueva en el intercambio de pins y ayudar en el intercambio utilizando los principios de la etiqueta «Divertido, Justo y Amigable».

ADVOCATE

A person who speaks or writes in support or defense of a person, cause, etc.; a person who pleads for or in behalf of another; intercessor.

If you observe someone trying to take advantage of another, respectfully approach them and remind them of the reasons why we engage in pin trading. Help in the trade so that everyone ends up happy. It’s not fun to be pressured into a trade. It’s only a good trade if both parties are satisfied after the trade. It is always acceptable to suggest another pin or to politely say, “No thanks,” if you are not happy with the proposed trade. Always encourage young and new traders when you can.

9b

Regalar uno de sus pins a una persona nueva en el intercambio de pins para ayudarle a empezar a intercambiar pins.

As you get more pins, try giving some away. You will discover that it can be as much or more fun to give pins away as it is to add pins to your collection. The Bible says that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Making others happy is very rewarding!

10

Intercambiar pins con al menos 15 personas que no conoce en un lugar o evento donde el intercambio de pins toma lugar, utilizando los principios de etiqueta «Divertido, Justo y Amigable». Mantener un diario de la gente con quien intercambia pins y cualquier cosa interesante que pase durante su experiencia de intercambiar pins.

This can take place at a Pathfinder camporee, Disneyland/Disney World, the Rose Parade, the Olympics, sporting events, or any other venue where pin trading takes place. Remember to talk to the people you are trading with and to practice the “Fun, Fair, and Friendly” rules of etiquette that you learned. Learn interesting things about the people you trade with like their name, where they are from, how long they’ve been trading pins, what they like to collect, etc. Having a diary will help you remember to talk to the people you trade with. You can make your diary as elaborate or as simple as you want.
