Dewey Keithly and Corbin Thomander founded Players Pins to create the kind of sports collectible they wanted as fans—something worth keeping forever.

They reimagined the classic pin as a premium player collectible, capturing each athlete’s personality in a collector case. Players Pins resell for hundreds of dollars—and one Dallas Mavericks giveaway sold for $2,500 on eBay.

That’s when they knew they weren’t just creating another giveaway. They were building the next great sports collectible.
