Back in like, 1994, they gave girls 10 Grin Pins with every purchase of clothing for them. Now, I was so fortunate as to get an ordinary jean jacket at a thrift store that was covered in them!!!!!!! The pins are cute, and stay on. I give them an A-. (The minus because some of them are peeling off at the edges.)

I found these at a FM with the "Grin Pin" chart. I'm not a pin collector, so I will probably sell these soon. I give them an B+ because the metal part is starting to rust. Otherwise they are very cute (My sister pins them everywhere!)

I wanted to clarify. There are two types of grin pins. The ones that were girl size and were metal. Then there were the mini ones for the dolls that were stickers. The doll ones came free with a today purchase and the actual pins for girls were sold separate. I have a whole bunch. Maybe I'll scan them in.

A photo of my measly collection. I think a fellow AGPT member sent these to me one time, but I'm sorry to say that I cannot remember who it was! Thank you whomever it was!
