I usually work security at our local show in Lodi,and we all especially watch for folks useing the pins harshly! Yes I see it too,but you have to have a strong volunteer group to safeguard other peoples generous sharing of a expensive possessions at these shows! I'm trying to arrange a special section showing our pins that have been modded out ! But that is not possible unless they can be totally watched over! Some people are just destructive by nature,IMHO HOWEVER,these shows depend on the ability to have a safe venue! Have fun,B safe!!!!
