  4. Purchase and Trade Limits

    If the pin is a limited edition pin or set, you may only purchase 2 of these pins or sets at a time. For PA staff and Enforcer trades, you may only trade 2 pins per person per day. PA Staff and Line Entertainment Enforcers can not deny a trade.

  5. Pinny Arcade Pin Scarcity

    We’ll retire pins every so often to make room for new designs, but there is no set “hard time limit” for how long they’re out there. We’ll make sure to designate the year the pin was printed on the back of each pin.
