We've never hidden our admiration for Olympic pin collecting on this show and we have always wanted to dive deeper into what is often called the unnoficial sport of the Olympic Games. Well today we are finally doing so as we bring you a very special episode on what it takes to become an avid Olympic pin collector as we are joined by German pin collector Yorick Spieker to learn more about the unique hobby and just how big of a hobby it actually is! We learn how Yorrick found himself at his first Olympics as a 19-year-old and how he was then able to acquire his first pin. We also learn how different the art of trading was 30 years ago, and how he was able to build such an extensive collection over the years having only attended two Olympics. Added to this we learn more about the etiquette of pin trading when actually at an Olympics, just why there is an endless amount of Olympic pins out there with no perfect collection ever possible and find out how asking for a certain pin in Paris could've very much led to the death of someone had they given it up. It's an amazing chat with so much to learn from, so get to listening and get more excited about Olympic pins!
