Topic: JB Trading Pins

Just saw an email about JB trading pins.  The inaugural pin is available for purchase now.  Let me see if I can link for you.

Re: JB Trading Pins

Interesting - but $5 postage for something that basically could be sent in an envelope?

Re: JB Trading Pins

Is there any relationship to Joe wearing the principal Skinner pin on his guitar strap during Beaver Creek?  If you go to the 3:54 mark of John Henry that Natasha recorded, you can see it above the JB logo.

When you see the principal skinner pin on the strap, that means its the real deal, if no pin, its the skinnerburst reissue/copy.

I believe Joe got the Principal Skinner pin from our very own Jane H.

yes i gave Joe that Principal Skinner pin as a gift. little did i know it would become a permanent fixture and Joe would give me a bunch of shout outs about it. I knew he was a Simpsons fan and that he had named his guitar Principal Skinner after the fact he bought it at a place with Skinner in the name.
When i saw this thread i did wonder about selling them but i doubt that will become one of the JB pins for many reasons. They sure are hard to find. I have one spare but still am on the lookout for them in the used items marketplaces.

anyway i was wondering what we could do with the JB pins and adorning guitar straps sounds like a cool thing.
i sincerely hope that when they say limited edition they mean it in the way most people understand it/. yeah still stuck on that bobblehead thing hmm

it doesn't seem like too bad a price but not sure i should get into collecting these things. i think i better make up my mind soon though if i want one. i bet they will sell well.

Hi Jane
When I was in Colorado I was invited to rehearsel at UC. Joe showed me all his guitars and handed me Skinner. I played the real deal and saw your pin. Joe told me that you had given it to him. So cool. Q

BEST GIFT EVER Jane! I always think of you whenever I see Joe playing that guitar and see the pin smile

Re: JB Trading Pins

Damn, a new pin every month? That sounds like a whole lot of pins. Guess that depends on how long they run the program.

Glad to finally learn who Principal Skinner is. I'v never once watched the Simpsons.

Re: JB Trading Pins

I'm as big a Joe fan as the next guy and I don't blame anyone for trying to make an extra buck, but, when did we become 14 year old girls. (no offense to 14 year old girls) It just seems more in line with Justin Bieber or John Mayer.  Never thought of Joe in that light and don't want to.

The only thing we deserve, is an opportunity.  Everything else has to be earned.

lol. Make that 17 year old girls. I think I was on a pin binge in high school and my super-cool Levi's jean jacket held them all! Scorpions, Y&T, Bozo the Clown - just to name a few.

I think this was all from the marketing peeps don't "pin" this one on  Joe!
