Olympic Trading; Postal Cards, Tickets, and Pins

One artistic Olympic Yachting Postal Card from the 1984 games was a good trading item for me. It featured five yachts with their brightly colored sails. Not everyone collects stamps but almost everyone wanted to take home olympic memorabilia. Because it was a first day issue date, most stamp collectors were thrilled to have one. One of the most artistic Olympic tickets was from the 100th anniversary of the modern Olympic Games in 1996. Often, whoever sat near me got one of my "regalos". So, along with many of my pins, these items were a hit in Canada. Didn't trade every day, just when the Olympic trading spirit came my way.
