The pins are 1" diameter with attached pin backs. Each pin on the side is numbered per position in the collection in small print on the edge, along with copyright information. Pins were available separately by purchasing in packages of ten for $2. A single package was often included as a bonus free item with  children's clothing  purchases such as American Girl Gear. Pins were randomly distributed per package; this meant a pack could have the same pin twice, or purchasers would get duplicates. The banner is made of black duck cloth with the images printed on it and hemmed around. It has the  American Girl of Today  full logo at the top, is bordered at the top by blue, on the left by green, the right by yellow, and the bottom by red. There is space for 143 pins (13 rows by 11 columns) outlined in white circles; some spaces have black-and-white images of particular pins, while others have colored text labels for specific collections. It was retired at the same time of the pins.
