If you are planning on giving another Case File with a button...
...here's a suggestion.
I got my Oswald DVD a few days ago, and inside it was a freebie button. It was shrink wrapped so that the pin doesn't poke holes in the paper incerts. The plastic wrapping has the same texture of a very thin shrinkie-dink and even comes with a hole big enough to put a pair of safety scissors through to cut it off the button. It's no bigger than the button you guys had made for the Season 1 Case File. Same kind of pin-backing too.
I am just throwing this out there because myself and others that loved the Season 1 Case Files had to deal with something getting a little damaged as a result of the button. In my case it was the postcard. For others, it was the magnet or the glasses. I think buy looking into this shrink-wrap protection, you will end up protecting the other items in the Case File for Season 2... again, if you are making a pin for that one.

Basically it's this sheet of cellaloid that you can draw and/or cut out shapes and images on that you bake in the oven at a low temperature (like 100 degrees F), and they shrink to about a quarter of their original size, as well as harden to a plastic-like product.
I hoped they took those off the market, because there were several "shrinkie-dink accidents" that we had, most of which involved the prodcut being able to break into a sharp point after the final point. Not to meantion the many chocking hazards we were able to produce because we didn't factor in the shrinking part.:D
(We also handed out those buttons at conventions and in that situation, having the buttons individually shrinkwrapped would be pretty inconvenient...)
Also: shrinkie dinks rock!
Anyway, I still think, that "shrinkie dink" is a strange word. Funny stuff though. I saw some of these when I was still young, but only on precut shapes. Also, they where probably made of a material that gives you cancer just by knowing it exists.
