Vojthas 947 Posted October 4, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Inspired by @Jan Linha I create this topic. What are your souvenirs from Olympics you have? What are your experiences with collecting and trading? Are you looking for something special to your collections? Jan Linha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough my old primary school pastor had a real Olympic torch. He was a torchbearer in 2002 . You can find a bunch of different pins on eBay by the way. I don’t have much personally, but that will change after Tokyo. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Vojthas 947 Posted October 4, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted October 4, 2019 This year on the occasion of 100th anniversary of Polish Olympic Movement the World Olympic Collectors Fair was held in Warsaw. I've got some good stuff (yeah, I spent a lot of money there, but it was all worth it), including Tokyo, Paris and LA pins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Linha 459 Posted October 4, 2019 #6 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Yeah, I know I can obtain a bunch on eBay. Sometimes my PayPal gets busy. ... But I live in China since 2015, Olympic collector fairs and way far from me. None in Asia. I am surely going to Tokyo, wanna spend there around a month. Wanna really bring back a lot of stuff. Was anybody here selected as a volunteer for the Games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, foreign currency can be a fickle thing. Plus, it’s just more useful to have ¥ “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
