I think this is a complete waste of money, just my opinion ...

Crazy to pay this much for a pin, even if it is exclusive to nintendo employees.

That IS a lot to pay for a pin, but I'm sure anyone who doesn't collect would call you crazy for spending a few grand on a Stadium Events box too. It's all subjective.

Totally agree with you on this one Mr. Gimmick. I love employee stuff but I cannot see spending $4oo on a pin but to each his own I guess. This makes me wonder what my Mario employee trophy is worth now. Hmmm...

There are some hardcore video game pin collectors I've met.  I personally don't think that it's any more foolish than buying a $400 NES box or whatever other collectable someone is into.  To each their own and if they have the funds to afford what they enjoy, the more power to them.

You THINK that NES collectors are crazy.

Wait and see what happens if this grading service takes off. If it does everyone here will be scratching their heads.
