I was able to pick-up a new Nintendo employee pin. These pins are getting harder and harder to find, at least ones I don’t have.

This pin comes from Nintendo of America HQ in Redmond, WA.  The “NOA” stands for Nintendo of America.  The Blvd (boulevard) was part of an internal program some years ago. The pin measures about half an inch square.

I was able to get a few more video game pins. Not like I need anymore (I have over 500) but I try to save as many as I can. Most of the time people would not even think about video game pins and I know it’s a very small market because most people wear them and just throw them away. This is way there are not a lot of video game pins out there after about six months after being released. The even hard video game pins to get are the ones from video game companies that they give to their employees. Well that’s all for now.

This pin was given to employees on the 10th year of service.  The “I” in Nintendo is dotted with a small diamond chip. As you can see it’s still in the box it came in.

This pin was given to employees on the 9th year of service.The pin is still in its box.

These are the Nintendo pins I got today but I do have other Nintendo service pins from other years. It’s only taken me about eight years to get these two.

Day Whatever

Have not been doing a lot with the blog lately but I will try to update more. Still need some old video games if anyone has so they don’t want. It doesn’t matter how old or new I will take anything you have.  You name it I’ll take it.

Day 15 of the Video Game Recycling/Donate Project

MONDAY! MONDAY! MONDAY! First day of the week and trying to get going but I’m slow out of the hole. If everyone is like me you will not get going until Tuesday.

Now on the the subject at hand. Please help if you can in the Video Game Recycling/Donate Project. Toxic chemicals in our environment threaten our rivers and lakes, our air, land, and oceans, and ultimately ourselves and our future.
