How you doing, brother? Good to see you. Andrew Colo has been to 14 Olympic Games, and he has medaled at every one, and it’s one for one. It’s one piece of metal for another. That trade Olympic pins. He has more than 7000 marking where he’s been and the people he has met. You make *** lot of friends. Yeah, *** lot. This was the line for the grand opening of Warner Brothers’ pen trading posts in Milan. Hence the ears. Inside the friendly yet focused art of the trade. If you find *** pin which is interesting to you and which you like, then you ask someone if you want to trade, and if you find something, then it’s fine for both. Josh Waller is said to be this generation’s star trader. It’s the rush. It’s the rush really. When you trade *** pin, it’s like nothing else. His mom still floored by the popularity. His, not the pins, and he would walk into them and they would be like, Oh my God, it’s Josh Waller. It was like he was *** rock star. And not to be outdone, Hearst has their own pin, so why not go to the experts and see what it’s worth? This is Josh’s dad. Take *** look, man. Give me your honest opinion. The 2026 Hearst pin. Well, I think this is highly collectible, wouldn’t you say? Would you like to take everything forward. Wisconsinite Molly Schmidt’s collection *** little more sentimental with *** pen for her dad, *** collector who unexpectedly passed away, and I was supposed to go with my dad to Rio, but unfortunately he passed away unexpectedly, so this kind of represents the different Olympics that he went to. The only thing for sale daily pins tradeworthy for *** treasure chest like Andrew’s. It’s *** fraternity at the Milan Cortina Olympics. I’m Jason Newton.
