The Series 2 pins will be as follows:

The Series 2 pins will be available at the Major in Cologne Germany which is set to begin over the 4th of July weekend. Pin prices are usually 10 USD a pin. It is unclear at this time if the Series 1 pins will be available for purchase at the Major, although it's assumed not.

Series 1 pins are available for purchase from welovefine.com. Physical pins bought from here come with a code for their in-game genuine counterpart. (see: You must login or register to view this content.)

Alternatively pins can be bought from within the game (through special offer) or from the steam market, however they will not have a genuine tag.

Full release notes for this patch (there isn't much aside from this) are available on Valve's Blog: You must login or register to view this content.

I really like the valeria, overpass, cobblestone, and phoenix pins.

I'd get some of the Series 1 pins but "welovefine" increased the price to 20 USD a pin, (not including the 7 USD of shipping) and is trying to pass it off as Valve always intended for the price to be that.

As for getting them in game, not worth for me. They're not as special if they don't have a genuine tag.
