Quick answer
Too Many Bones enamel pins are a fun, affordable way to show off your favorite Gearloc, and with a few simple display and care habits you can keep them looking sharp for years.
Why enamel pins make great collectibles
Enamel pins are small but mighty when it comes to expressing your fandom. They're easy to attach to backpacks, jackets, or lanyards, and they instantly spark conversations with fellow players. Plus, they take up almost no space, making them ideal for collectors who want to celebrate their favorite games without cluttering a shelf.
For Too Many Bones fans, these pins let you rep your favorite Gearloc wherever you go. Whether you choose Picket or Tink, you're carrying a piece of the game with you—and that's a connection that goes beyond the tabletop.
Choosing between Picket and Tink
Picket and Tink are two beloved Gearlocs from Too Many Bones, and each has a distinct personality. Picket is known for his defensive, tank-like playstyle, while Tink brings a more gadget-driven, versatile approach. When picking a pin, think about which character resonates with you—whether it's the one you always play or the one whose story you admire.
Both pins are priced similarly, so your choice really comes down to personal preference. If you can't decide, you can always start with one and add the other later—collecting is all about building your own set.
Displaying your pins without damage
Displaying enamel pins can be as simple or as elaborate as you like. A corkboard or fabric-covered frame lets you arrange and rearrange your collection easily. For a more permanent showcase, consider a shadow box or a dedicated pin display case with a glass front to protect against dust.
If you prefer to wear your pins, rotate them between items to avoid putting constant stress on the same clasp. This also gives you a chance to show off different Gearlocs on different days.
Caring for your pins
Enamel pins are durable, but they're not indestructible. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals, which can dull the enamel or corrode the metal backing. If your pin gets dusty, a soft, dry cloth is usually all you need to keep it looking fresh.
When storing pins you're not displaying, keep them in a soft pouch or a compartmented box to prevent scratches. This is especially important if you plan to trade or sell them later—condition matters to collectors.
Verdicts on common pin myths
- Myth: Enamel pins are only for kids: Verdict: False. Enamel pins are a popular collectible among adults, especially in gaming communities. They're a subtle way to show fandom without being loud, and they look great on adult backpacks, jackets, and office lanyards. Don't hesitate to wear your pin to work or game night—it's a conversation starter, not a toy.
- Myth: You need a special display case to start collecting: Verdict: False. You can start displaying pins on a simple corkboard, a piece of fabric, or even your favorite bag. A dedicated case is nice but not necessary for beginners. Start with what you have—upgrade your display as your collection grows.
- Myth: All enamel pins are the same quality: Verdict: False. Quality can vary, but Chip Theory Games pins are designed to be durable and long-lasting, with a finish that holds up to regular use. Invest in pins from reputable sources to ensure they stay looking good over time.
