I think that there gets to be a point where the amount spent on pins would be more than the current metals...
Then you have some people who are alumni, mentor, volunteer/judge/referee/etc. and it could get to be 6+ pins per year for one person. At that point, in my opinion, it becomes like people who collect team buttons (not that that's a bad thing) where you just see a mass and not the individual accomplishments.
I'd be happy with pins, even more so if they retroactively made them, that were distinctive for each game instead of participation metals.
(P.S. I am looking forward to receiving my 5 year volunteer pin this year!
