How do I get my free Cardinals Pin Album?
 
The Commemorative Album is the best way to collect and store Cardinals pins. This custom-designed Commemorative Album, featuring Cardinals facts and an autograph section is available for free with a coupon from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch at participating retailers. The coupon for the album is available in the Sports section of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch from Sunday, May 29th through Tuesday, May 31st.

How do I collect the pins?
 
To start your collection, look for the coupons running in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sports section every day beginning Wednesday, June 1st through Tuesday, June 28th. Each day that a pin is released, a coupon for that pin will be published in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sports section. To start collecting pins, first cut-out the coupon in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, then take the coupon to a participating retailer in the St. Louis Metropolitan area to buy your pin. Pins go on sale the same day that the pin’s coupon is published in the paper.

Where Can I get the Cardinal Pins and/or the Commemorative Album?
 
There are over 500 locations in the St. Louis metropolitan area selling the pins including Shop ’n Save, Dierbergs, Walgreens, QuickTrip, Motomart and Hucks.

How much do the pins cost?
 
Each pin costs $2.99 plus tax. To purchase a pin at a participating retailer you must present a coupon featuring the pin that you are purchasing or any other previously released player.

Can I buy any player’s pin with any coupon?
 
Coupons are good for the player pin featured on the coupon or any other previously released player.

If I have missed a player pin, how do I complete my set?
 
Check with participating retailers to see if they still have inventory available for previously released pins. If the desired pin is no longer in-stock, you may obtain a Merchandise Request Application from participating retailers which will allow you to submit coupons by mail for consideration of merchandise fulfillment by the Post-Dispatch at the conclusion of the promotion.

How do I obtain a coupon I might have missed?
 
Limited quantities of back issues are available at the Post-Dispatch, at 900 N. Tucker Blvd. (Please note: Player pins and albums are not available at the Post-Dispatch). In addition, you might check with friends and/or relatives.
