Yes he does. But bypass the pins for the good stuff. He has a whole basement full of neat, fun trinkets!

Finally got them all!...all tackle (upper pins) and fly rod div (lower pins)....working on my display rack now, need to finish lettering and tweak things a little. In my travels I found a couple old derby patches too, one I think is from the 1946 derby but I am not positive. (they didn't have a pin the first year, had a patch) The other patch is from the early 70's.
Still looking to upgrade the few pins that are in rough shape with ones in better condition. I have been doing that all along so most are in good shape, just a few suffer from beach rash. Also I am not sure when the fly rod div started, the earliest fly rod pin I have is 1981.
Wife is not as excited about this as I am so I keep it in my office.

Now, there's a surpise for ya, Jim... 
That's essentially why I created my tackle room in the basement in the first place...  |

Nice job Jim, you given any thought on displaying at the awards ceremony, or "loaning out to the derby" to display at shows ?

Found it in the trash! No, just kidding, there is a guy on Ebay who makes old signs out of recycled stuff and he was advertising this one so I picked it up as I thought it would cool with the pins. |
