WAG Achievement pins - question?

[Ali'sMom]

I started the tradition of buying my DD achievement pins to put on her gym bag (back when I started, I didn't realize just what I was getting myself into, as I try to cover "everything").
I have gotten "skill" pins, level pins, and "highest AA score" per level (those wait until the new level).
I've had a hard time finding one though, and I'm hoping someone has seen one...
I need a 39 All Around pin. Of course, it was old L2, and DD hasn't ever come close to that again, but if I can find out, I'd love to get it on her bag.
This is what the ones I've been getting look like, but I'm open to ANYTHING (at this point, I got a 35 and used gold paint marker to make the 5 a 9, and sprayed laquer on it. But I'd love a "real" one.

I've googled, I've Ebay'd, I've called companies, so I'm hoping someone out there has seen a 39 somewhere that I haven't

no idea, but those look really sweet

No luck so far. I have found 38 pins though

I did some web searching too, and I've found everything but 39. Perhaps you can give the "scored 9.5" one instead?

Not sure if this is at all what you are looking for, but might be better then nothing. You can customize it yourself with an image and text.

The highest I have seen is a 38

You might be able to ask them about a 39 pin... I know that they have some things that aren't on the website due to limited quantities... you might get lucky

If it were for her bulletin board or such, I'd do something like that, but I don't necessarily want it to be different than the rest of the pins. As proud as I am of her 39, I don't want it seeming like we're really bragging (#1, especially because it was back in level 2(old), and #2, because I don't think anyone else on her team has had a 39) But thank you for that!! I'm saving that link!

Believe it or not, they are one company I haven't contacted. Now that I've been on this board, and I've heard how great their customer service is for leos, I will go ahead and try calling them. Thank you!

Thank you
I didn't realize what an undertaking it was at first. At level 2, and even level 3 (old) not many skills were difficult for her. New Level 3 was harder, and this summer the trek to L4 even more so. I get neurotic about "collections", so I cover everything....

This is her story in pins:

With the change of level numbers, I made her old L2 a L1 for future consistency:
Level 1: highest score 39 (that's the one I "made".
Level 2: highest score mid 38.
Level 3: made it to states, 34 at States. In spring, finally had 9's across the board (the 9.0 beam pin is backordered), and had her highest score mid 37. This was BHS level (need to move that by the level number because it was first )
Level 4: got her kip
The "Stuck it" was the meet when she stayed on the beam and did her 1/4 turn for the dismount (and got a 9).

Last night she reminded me that now she has her cartwheel on beam and FHS vault... I've created a monster! LOL!

we don't have stuff like that as we use the FIG open ended scoring system, so a 9.8 is actually not a great score here. But I like the levels ones - must not buy more stuff, must not buy more stuff, must not buy more stuff .....

I wish I hadn't started, I wish I hadn't started, I wish I hadn't started...

Actually, I'm glad I did it, but I really didn't realize how "big" it could get
I mean, if she makes it to optionals, I think all these pins will have to be displayed somewhere else to start over on the bag!

I've bought Little Bit the level ones only so far. Right now they are sitting in a dish gathering dust...need to figure out what to do with them

I wish I hadn't started, I wish I hadn't started, I wish I hadn't started...

Don't worry my mom started doing all the pins but I got tired of it! I have all the level pins up to level 9 but it looks like I got to level 9 with only my kip because I don't have any skill pins after that!

 

[htimcj]

I do all of the skill pins and levels. I wish there were more of the more difficult skill pins available though. DD still likes them even at 12

 

[Gymmonkeymomma]

I quit buying pins for both girls after Level 6 because it got to be too much to keep track of them on their bags, lmao. Now they are just in a pile, in a drawer! My favorite pin was an AA and it had 4 little charms that dangled, one for each event.

 

[Ali'sMom]

I like the ones with the danglies, but I didn't see those first. And I have that disease that I have to keep everything the same
(I would have been okay with the 39 being different, because truly, I don't think she'll get another one of those...)

 

[EllibugGymmie]

These are so cool! I've never seen these before! Looks like I may be starting a new expensive hobby! Hope you find your 39!
