Newbie here... I bought a few trader pins online. Now I need to find out if I need to return them. How can I tell if a pin is a scrapper? I checked on pin pics and some of the pins I received said there are authentic and not authentic pins out there. They look the same. How can I tell?
Thanks,
Maranda

Another stupid newbie ?

I finally got some decent trader pins and decided to set up a pinpics id. So here's my question. Is there anywhere on my pinpics trader list to make comments about the pins I have? I ask because I have one of the UK Disney Store Grape Soda badge pins that I'm considering putting up for trade, which seems to be a popular pin. The pin has some scratches on it, which happened before I received the pin. I'd like to make people aware of the scratches upfront, but I don't...

trader pins

Hi all!
I'm very new to pin trading. I've heard you can find trader pin lots to buy that have a lot of pins for cheap that you can use to trade at the parks, etc. My question is: Is buying these lots a good idea? How do you know if you'll be able to trade them? How can the sellers sell them for so cheap and still make a profit when most pins cost at least 6 bucks?
Thanks,
Maranda

Just Wondering

I'm not a new collector but am wondering if anybody can answer my question. Can you get the Urban and Park #1 Vinylmation mystery packs or do they just start start at #2. I can't find the #1 packs anywhere, but I thought it would be strange if they start at 2. Thank you for any answers I really appreciate it, at the moment I am totally addictied to mystery pins .

This might be a weird ?

Does anyone NOT have a HG pin? Granted, I've only been really into pins for about 8 months, so maybe I just haven't found it yet. There are lots of pins that I really like, but so far I haven't seen a pin that I just really HAVE to have. Maybe because I primarily collect Halloween pins and that's a pretty small subset compared to, say, Stitch pins. If anyone else doesn't have an HG please comment cause I feel kind of weird without one.

Newbie with questions

Hi. I'm pretty new to pin collecting and have a few questions on making fair trades. I was wondering how every evaluated the value of the pins. More to the point I got the trick or treat box and found a stitch (73187) with my beginners luck and I wanted to not make any rookie mistakes with it like trade for to little or ask for to much. I just haven't been doing this long enough to get a good feel for it. I have a few trade offers already and just don't know what to do! Please...

New & Confused!

feeds@yuku.com (To Pin or not To Pin) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 22:06:06 GMT

Whew! I just found this site and decided to join. We just returned from our 2nd Disney vacation. We have 5 lanyards - One from our trip in 2004. Four from our trip this year. I definately have a few questions to pose on the 'is this a real pin" forum, but probably won't get around to it tonight!! It was very disheartening to read about all the scrapper pins. And looking back to our recent trip, I remember thinking "That pin doesn't look just right". Now I know why!...

HELP ME, Where do I start?

? about 2 upcoming release WDW pins

feeds@yuku.com (vanguardgator) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:39:53 GMT

Hello. I am completely new to collecting Disney pins, so please forgive me in advance if I am asking a question that has been answered before. I very much want to buy two pins that are about to be released on October 22. Both are Florida Gator football pins (one against Georgia and one against Florida State---I am a big University of Florida fan and will be going to both games, so I would love those pins). How exactly does it work if I want to buy them? I called the phone number listed...

My Introduction

Good Evening!

My name is Cheryl and I'm from the United Kingdom. I've been collecting pins for about one year. I returned from a visit to WDW two weeks ago and am totally hooked on collecting.

My Pin Pics ID is 'cherry-pops' and I currently have 42 pins, 10 are for trading. I'm hoping to trade for pins of Stitch and Minnie Mouse. I'm also hoping to frame my Splash Mountain ride photo with some Splash Mountain pins, and I want to order some Photopass...

.Hello..Rookie question

feeds@yuku.com (vanguardgator) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 14:41:38 GMT

Hi. I am new to this board, but a lifelong Disney fan (and former college prgram cast member many moons ago). I am a mom and heading to the Magic Kingdom in a few weeks with my two children and thought that it might be a nice tradition to introduce them to Disney pin collecting. Granted they are 2 & 3, but I figured I would get them each a lanyard and a few pins each for this trip. We live in Florida and so I expect that we will be visting Disney World at least 3 times or more...

Hello All,
I'm Silvercreek's husband, and just wanted to introduce myself. I've been trading for about two year, collecting Stitch, Faires, Incredibles, and Jessica Rabbit. I finally have been encouraged to join the boards, since I'm sure I've met a fair amount of you at the events. I'll still let Silvercreek keep track of all our pins, but feel free to say hi!

Hello everyone! My name is Tanya, and I started pin trading about a month ago when my mother and I went to Disneyland. Whenever I go to Disney I always wanted Peter Pan souvenirs, not Tinkerbell but Peter, and it was difficult. And that is the main reason I started Pin Trading, I saw the extreme potential in expanding my limited Peter Pan collection.

So, I started pin trading. I have had fantastic experiences so far, which includes an employee giving me a Peter Pan pin LE of 500...
