I received several of these at O-Pin House. This is a new subset of pin trading for me, and I'd like to have a better understanding of the world of AP
trading!
- Is there a simple copy and paste way to add these to PinPics? I've never added a pin and tried yesterday, but it wouldn't let me copy the picture.
- What sort of premium (if any) do APs add to a trade...for example, are there people who collect things just b/c they are APs - including rack pins? What if it's an AP of a fairly desirable LE pin? One that I got is Pin #41992 (Playing Cards - Ace of Hearts Zero)...do most people not care one way or the other - whereas for the AP collector who also wants this particular pin, they'd put out the big guns to get it? [note - I don't actually want to trade or sell this pin - I love Zero! - but it best illustrates what I'm trying to understand].
- I know the 'value' of a pin is what it's worth to me. The fact that a pin is an AP doesn't have any glamour for me personally, but I know it does for some. I'm trying to get an idea of how I should consider these pins in terms of trading value.
- Is there a hard and fast rule for how many proofs there are for any given pin? Is the number of APs in addition to the edition size, or part of it? For an LE 500, are there 500 pins, 5 (or however many) of which are APs, or are there 505+ of that pin?
Thanks in advance---and, I had a nice time at O-Pin house meeting and trading with some of the ohana!
