I'm sure I have my collection of olympic pins around somewhere still but I have no idea where it was.

Yeah, we spent quite a bit of time at the pin trading tent as well. My dad ended up getting some pin from the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow that was apparently quite rare due to the boycotts that happened. He used to have all his pins in a frame that he kept on his night table for the next 18 years. I think my mom probably hasn't moved it yet, I'll have to look for it next time I go to visit.
