Re: How to get started collecting Pins?

I started my kids into trading and they were having lots of fun. Eventually I came across a Goofy pin that I had to have...

Then another...

Then another...

Then another...

Soon I was looking for the Cast Lanyard Pins with the hidden Mickeys, for a greater challenge and besides lots of those are really cool!

I bought a number of pins at the park that first time and it was spendy. I do recommend looking for a reputable seller on EBay or even Gingita here on MB, because you can get your pins much cheaper that way. Stay away from the Sedesma pins and some of the others made overseas! They are knock offs! You may luck out and be able to trade them, but I suggest staying away from them...

I try to have at least 5-10 trader pins for each of my family members. We could do more, but that amount seems about right without becoming too much of a focus.

Have fun!
