“Pin-Up” of the Week: New Era Super Bowl 50 18k Gold Pin

New Era has created quite the expensive hat for Super Bowl 50.  This hat is made of black lambskin leather and comes with an 18k gold pin.  They only made 50 of them, and cost $2,500 per hat.

There are a lot of pins made for Super Bowl 50.  Many of them feature just the logo.  Someone could easily try and pass off a cheap widely produced pin for this one made of 18k gold.  Especially if you’re not buying it in person.

$2,500 for a hat is nuts.  The brim is completely flat too.  I hate hats with flat brims.

“Pin-Up” of the Week: Levi’s Stadium Super Bowl 50 Employee Pin

Super Bowl 50 merchandise has been out since the last Super Bowl.  There is no hiding the fact that the NFL is going to market the crap out of this one.  Probably more than any other Super Bowl in history.  Certain Super Bowl 50 merchandise has been bringing in lots of money, such as pins.

From what I’ve found, there are (4) different Super Bowl 50 pins you can find right now:

• WinCraft Super Bowl 50 “On the Fifty”
• WinCraft Super Bowl 50
• Super Bowl 50 CBS
• Levi’s Stadium Super Bowl 50 Employee

All of these pins look very similar, but come with a wide range of prices.  The Levi’s Stadium pin comes in at the highest.  The last one sold for $230.00.  I believe that these were given to employees, staff, and other high ranking people who work for the 49ers.  It has a 3D look to it, and isn’t flat on the surface.  The CBS pin has a similar 3D look, but isn’t worth near as much.  Those other two pins are what you’ll find for sale the most.

Super Break’s 2015 National VIP Set

The people over at Super Break put together some insane products that are a blast to open.  They may not always be at every collector’s ideal price point, but they sure are fun to watch open.

VIPs attending the 2015 National Sports Collectors Convention will receive a 6-card set thanks to Super Break.  The set includes Rafael Devers, Yadier Alvarez, Gregory Bird, Luis Severino, Bradley Zimmer, and Derek Fisher.

“Pin-Up” of the Week: Super Bowl 50 Logo Pin

Exactly one year from today, Super Bowl 50 will be taking place.  Super Bowl XLIX may have just ended, but its never too late to start thinking about the next one.  WinCraft sold and gave away a lot of specially made pins last week to those lucky people that attended the game.  One of those pins sets you up for next year’s Super Bowl already.  This is the only Super Bowl 50 pin I’ve seen surface and collectors jumped all over it.  With 35 bids this pin sold for $35.00.  They decided to go with the standard number 50 instead of using the Roman numeral “L”.  Their marketing people decided that the “L” wasn’t aesthetically pleasing.  The Roman numerals will return for Super Bowl LI.  I can’t imagine what they have in store for the 50th Super Bowl.  More pins for sure!
