How Big is Your Button collection?

[Pin Man]

I only have like 250 or so... I lost a bunch while playing disc and football and such at Championship and other Regionals... But I wear them all at the same time

Of course there are bigger collections! Can you imagine how many Dean or Woodie must have?! Even they couldn't possibly have one from every team, And with more and more teams every year... !

so this is what i do with my buttons. We have one avid button collector on our team whos determined to have every single button a first team ever made, so if we get any, he gets to go through them (or atleast mine) first. Then what happens is I save any funny ones (like 25's feel the power) and throw the rest to my brother who at the age of 7 already has over 170 buttons.

This being my first year, my whole button collection comes from only 2 regionals and nationals. I only got out my nationals bag and counted about 162 buttons. Now if you take into account duplicates I probably have about 140-150 unique buttons from the championship. I didn't get near as many buttons at regionals but I am probly pushing about 200.

I have 56 Buttons that I collected from 2003 to now...through 3 regional events and 1 national...this year I got only 5

Just over 10 pounds worth. Collected last year and this at 10 regionals and 2 Championships. I wear them on a special vest that I had made up. Someone has pictures I know because a lot of people asked to take them.

A word to the wise. Wearing all of my buttons for 8 hours gives old people back aches. Don't do it without breaks or you will be sore for days.

I am sorry that I didn't get to Galileo or Newton pit areas this year. I barely made it through Curie talking with new and old friends as I did my fact finding.

steve.. your my hero!. . ahha! wish you were the anouncer at Galileo, we had an awsome MC but the announcer was kinda poor.. and you did a good job at toronto ..

anyways..this is my first year.. i went to great lakes, and toronto regionals.. i have collected about 30 total from regionals.. then over 100 from championship! see my picture ( i had a bit more then that at the end, that picture is on the second day).. i just scanned up EVERY button and small knick nack.. and i will be posting a webpage database with all the buttons, and ppl can send me theirs to add to the collection as well (if i missed theirs)..

anyways.. look for me next year at great lakes, toronto, and champs.. i will have a canada flag as a cape loaded with buttons and be shure you have your team button with you to donate

great topic btw

Talk to "button boy 1100." That kid could one-up me any day.

I personally get about 60-70 each year. I tried to get every team at the UTC regional, and got fairly close... In Atlanta, not so much because I was busy doing mentor-type stuff and helping our programmer with the code. (okay, okay, so I also went to visit my old team one or thrice...)

I'm completely unsure of my collection, because I keep finding random buttons in my room. So I'll have to say I possibly have 200. Maybe less, I ain't sure.

I got about 60 from Atlanta alone, and a bunch from Chesapeake this year. I separate all the stuff I get each year...I have my buttons and such in a bag from Chesapeake last year, and my Atlanta stuff in a BIG Mars bag...Yeah...
