When it comes to knowing what fans want, there are very few brands doing it as well as Yesterdays. The pin and apparel makers have quickly become one of attendee’s favorite booths at the con, thanks in large part to their very popular line of SDCC heart pins. Each year, their offerings span fandoms of your favorite movies, TV shows, gaming, and beyond, all created with an eye for design in their beautiful artwork.
This year, you can once again find them on the show floor at Booth #1028, where they’ll have pins, tees, and more.
For those with pre-order items, if you’re in town early, you can join them at Nuclear Comics on Tuesday, July 23 from 7pm-10pm for a Pre-Con Pick-Up Party, where the first 200 guests will receive a free pin.
During the actual show, Yesterdays will do their best to accommodate you into the existing line (but you won’t be able to purchase any additional items). Stopping by after 2pm will make the process go smoother. For those looking to purchase directly at the booth, if the line is at capacity, Yesterdays will have return tickets, with a designated time, and you may enter the line anytime after your designated time.
[UPDATE July 22]
Can’t make it to the con? Just want to make sure your Yesterdays Hearts pin collection is complete? They’ll be offering an exclusive online Heart Pin again this year, titled “Maybe Next Year“. it will be available on their site starting Thursday, July 25 from 9am PT through Sunday, July 28 at 11:59pm PT, in a timed edition, for $10 each.

When I was a little kid, my parents used to take me to Sesame Place in Langhorne, PA, where I remember riding the Super Grover zip line. Over blacktop. Times were different back then, but zip lines are still very much a thing, which Yesterdays is celebrating with Just Here for the Zipline, limited to 100 pieced for $10 each.
Yesterdays doesn’t think you should leave at all. In fact, they’d love you to stick around Booth #1028 for these Egg Feeding Game pins. They’re limited to 100 pieces for $20 each at the booth.
Actor, writer, and comedian Ify Nwadiwe will also be signing at the booth, though times are TBA. Be sure to follow along with Yesterdays on social for information on when the Um, Actually host and Twisted Metal writer will be signing.

Just like last year, there will also be daily Heart pins for Thursday-Sunday of the con, which will be posted on Yesterdays’ social the morning of each day of the convention.
There will be a limit of two per person.
