In the 'old world', or rather, in old texts, the numbers 1,000 and 10,000 were interchangeable with the idea of infinity. A number so large that it might as well be endless. I didn't think we were going to make it to 1000 backers on the Oracle Dice's project in May last year. It just didn't seem likely to me, the project crawled a lot slower than I expected. 

But in those final hours, as the backer train kept going, we did it. So I owed my supporters for doubting them! Thus the 1,000 Commemorative pin was made as a little add-on, much like the Enoch's Not Dead commemorative mug for the Misery Tarot, when we broke 800 backers on that one. But that was in May/June of 2025. All this time since, there has been no actual design for the pin.

But here we are, I really punched my way into this one all afternoon long. I intended to up the price when the design was done, and so that is officially done now. Those who got it cheaper when it was designless, thanks for believing in what might come to be. Now it's here, and the add-on is officially set at $15 for a 2 1/2" wide pin!

If you missed it, just earlier today I shared the other pins that all arrived to me! So check the update linked here from earlier today to see all those!

... What's that? I was overly certain that we would fund so I went ahead and ordered the pins ahead of time to avoid the February factory closes?? (And probably too many sets at that??) I based the order on what was sold on the first tarot pin set project, which made about 2x the money this one is at now. So I definitely over-ordered, but that just means I won't have to re-manufacture the sets anytime soon.

But they are here in person and they look amazing! Sincerely I love them all so much, especially the free collab pin set we have on offer between me and Aimee! So shiny.

You can also finally see how BIG the seasonal pins are! They're almost as tall as the tarot pins and much wider with the ears. And they are laser etched with their numbering out of 100. The Autumnal Gob Pin here is #34/100, which is great.

Also got pictures of the banners! They look delightful, and have room for all the pins in this project and more. So I highly suggest grabbing those! They look a little small here, but they are 10" tall and 6" across! I'm excited to have them in hand.

And lastly, I'm noodling on the 1000 Goblin pin some more. Let me know what you think should go in the loops of the infinity scroll. I was going to do flowers or some kind of bouquet, but I'm not sure anymore. Also have some work to do on the goblin head of course still. If they head is staying that big, I will need to make the hands larger for sure haha.


That's all for now-- thanks for being here friends, and don't forget to share the project if you have time, space, and the desire. Always happy to bring new things to life!

Hey Pin Goblins!

Now, there are a lot of incredible pins on this campaign for sale, from the new stained glass pins to the new filler pin sets, plus the NO ICE and NOT AI new pins featured here, or the new seasonal collector pins!

But while those all cost money, there are some pins here that are total freebies, so long as you've also taken a look at some other campaigns.

First off, we have our project collab with Aimee Cozza's incredible robot pin set! If you are getting a pinset from each of us right now, you also get our collab 4-pin mini pin arcana set, with a little robo-flair. I provided the gold pins with Cups and Disks, and Aimee put together the silver Wands and Swords!




We will be selling this set for $15-20 in the future, so right now you can get it added to your order for free if you back us both! And her robot filler pin sets are being chosen right now on her campaign, so you can decide which robots go on which of her two pin sets!



And there are also mini-pins on the line for ALL Lore and Myth campaigns if you back any 3 of us or more! Lore and Myth is a sub-group of projects live now on Pintopia with 21 of us in total. If you back for a pin in each of 3 projects (ours included), you'll receive a free mini-pin from each of us.

For this project, we're adding in the Death of the Oracle mini pin!


It's the same size as our card filler pin set, so it will fit in perfectly and round that pin set off at 3 dark symbol cards and 3 card-back style cards pins.

Now is a great time to consider which of the many projects in Pintopia you'll want gorgeous pins from to lock in your plans before it ends in just 12 days. Why not take your time now before we rush to the end?

Will be seeing you soon with the finalized 1000 GOBLIN pin design, so everything on offer will be there to be seen,

Tata for now,

PS
Don't forget to vote on which Major Arcana you want to see pin-ified next in our ongoing Major Arcana collection.

As of last night, we funded! Congratulations to the 75+ of us here to make this happen, and during such a huge and wide-reaching Pintopia of 200+ projects and so many incredible creators.

I honestly have to thank you from the bottom of my heart for you heart-felt support of Pub Gob Trinkets's first voyage as its own account. It literally couldn't have happened without you, and I appreciate it so deeply. 

I write this from the Austin airport in Texas on my way to see family. With just a few flight changes, I find myself stuck here for a while, so I figure now is as good a time as any to say hello and thank you for putting us over the funding goal.

I have added those two new Anti-AI and Anti-ICE pins to the campaign, but will keep myself from adding a bunch more. I think I'd like to keep the seasonal pins to the Pub Gob Trinkets campaigns, and just do a small release of pins, key chains, prints, and more 4 times throughout the year. 

I really enjoy these campaigns because they are slim and easy to run. I design stuff, talk to my manufacturer, run a smaller campaign than I'm used to, and bam-- I ship them myself! It's a great time.

So again, thank you for being here. Congratulations to us! I'll be back with more updates soon, showcasing some of the newer pin designs and the amazing collab pin set I'm doing with Aimee Cozza!

Thanks,

Hello my friends,

We're just shy of 75% funded here at the 24 hour mark, and that's fantastic! We'll be producing a bunch of gorgeous pins through these funds, expanding the offerings from Pub Gob Trinkets and building quite the catalogue, don't you think?

So why don't we produce even more?


These two new gold metal pins have been added to the From the Catalogue section of add-ons, right at the top as the newest additions. I am a firm believer that art matters, and it doesn't come from nowhere. Artists create it, and artists are humans who live in the world with other people. I'm part of a society, and it just so happens to be American.

I, and thus Publishing Goblin in all its forms, am firmly anti-AI, and pro-Human. So I've added these two designs to the project to spotlight both as designs.

The NO ICE pin is $15, and half of the proceeds from sales of that pin are going to the Immigrant Freedom Fund here in Colorado to help pay bail for those detained by ICE. Nothing is sealed in stone, if I find a stronger place to stand against ICE locally or larger in the country, the funds will go there. But 7.50 of each sale is going towards that purpose.

The Make Art Not AI pin is also $15, and is a solid way to support a real human (or goblin) artist (me), and a way to rock merch that shows your stance with human artists, and not the horrible plagiarism machine masquerading as "Artificial Intelligence."

While the AI pin came together just as I imagined right away, the ICE one took four tries over the course of yesterday, and I'm really happy with what I came up with. I hope you love them too, and might go add them to your order if you're so moved.

PS, attaching the poll to this update to see what Major Arcana people might want to see next!

Thanks everyone,
