This auction is for a Very IMPRESSIVE Item. This is a KODAK COLLECTION of OLYMPIC PINS from 1896 to 1996. They are sealed in a hardwood case which I believe is Cherry or Walnut behind glass. The case is 14 1/2" x 11 1/2" x 1 1/2" in size and is in EXCELLENT CONDITION. The Pins have never been removed from the case so they are in ***MINT*** Condition. Sorry about the glare on the pictures. The Summer Olympics will be coming on August 08,2008. Now's the time to collect your pins. They are quite costly and you are getting a great deal here. There is No-Reserve on this item. There is not another Set like this on eBay. They are ***HARD TO FIND***!!! This Collection has gone way up in Value since I bought it. There are 23 pins in this sealed Collection.

I have had this Collection for 12 years,but I must sell my Collections. If you will take a moment to read my ABOUT ME Page,it will let you know some of the things I am going through and why I am parting with my Pride & Joy Items & Collections. I really loved my Olympic Pin Collections. I have to have more surgery and desparately need the funds to pay for everything. I will be listing others also,so PLEASE check out all of my auctions and see if there is something you might want. It would sure help me out quite alot.

I CAN'T AFFORD IT.

- Your payment ***MUST*** be received within 10 days from the end of the auction.There are no exceptions anymore.I'm tired of people that win an auction and wait until the last day to send their payment off.I don't like leaving Negative Feedback or being mean about it,but if that's what it takes,than I'm sorry but that is what I'll have to do.I think that 10 days is plenty of time to send your payment off and it being received within that time frame.I do not like being like this,because I'm not a nasty person,but I am getting tired of getting way late payments that show up 3 or 4 weeks late or longer and than the checks bounce.So PLEASE understand that I don't know what else to do.
- Thank you for taking an interest in our auctions.
- Have a Most Wonderful Day!!! ";-)
