Does anyone still collect pins?

[Zippy 1]

We collect! We have all the framed pin sets from MVMCP except 1. We also collected all the carosoul pins. My DD 18 collects all the stitch. We are always on the look out when we are there to add to our collections. My DH thinks he wants to start collecting the MNSSHP framed pin sets. I don't know we are almost out of wall space!

We still chase Pluto pins.... and enjoy them while we're home.

We started one year and really never stayed with it. I usually forget to take them when we go. I also bought the ones I like and I don't want to trade them. When we are there I think "man I should have brought them for the kids to trade" but of course I forgot again

Don't really trade, just buy new ones... The wife buys tons of them, according to my credit card statement.

We buy a few on each trip. During our last trip, we bought a set of Haunted Mansion pins where the stretch room portraits are done with Disney characters. I like all of the details on many of them and try to buy one that represents a part of our trip that was special.
I've never traded a pin.

We liked to trade but everyone seems to have the same unwanted ones. And buying them, some have become quite expensive.

We just got back from Disney last night. My kids & I bought several pins and my kids traded 4-5 each with cast members. They love to look at all the pins and buy the ones from their favorite rides & attractions. This trip, we left our old lanyards and pins at home and bought new lanyards and added our new pins to them.

I still collect pins. I'll buy 3-6 each trip and I try to chooese one that represent special memories from the trips.

I just started about two weeks ago and I'm addicted! Bought some traders on ebay and have a BLAST trading with CMs all over property!

There are so many adorable sets, cute cutouts, etc and I want them all! Better late than never!

We trade every trip. My kids call my wife "Crazy Pin Lady". Usually, she buys about 300 from ebay before we go, and then trade them all in a week. She usually finds one or two sets that have been released and then spends the rest of the week looking for them.

I, personally, collect Stitch, Jiminy Cricket, Patriotic pins, and the Epcot Flags (in classic Mickey head shape). We made pin boards with cork and crushed velvet stretched over them to display our pins. Each kid has a pin board in their room. My DW has a couple of albums where she keeps them.

I hate my lanyard, so I usually just have a pocket full of pins in my cargo shorts every day we're in the parks. I usually wind up trading all my pins to give to the kids that are with us on the trip.

We always take the pins we aren't super attached to and trade them out with CMs, we don't buy alot of them unless they are just really specific to something we love but we still do enjoy trading them alot.

My parents got me a pin bag in 2010 because my lanyard alway bugged me, and I didnt really like it, my brother has stopped collecting but the three of us are going stronglol

mom dragged us all over the parks to find a fairy set with flora fauna and maryweather and the fairygodmother, we searched till the last day and had all but one wich we had seen 3 times before we decided we wanted the set and then couldnt find that one, found it at are hotel on a lst minute back in trip to find it, hahaha she was lucky

I love collecting and trading pins! I have a shadowbox in my room (which is unfortunately full and needing another box beside it) where I put all of the pins I do not plan on trading and I only bring the pins that I want to trade with me. I rarely see people trading these days though, which saddens me.

[BigRedDad]

My DD and DW like to trade pins. As far as collecting, I would say no. They simply trade for something they like and that is about it.

[Crow]

havent traded any in a few trips and not really buying anymore.
one time i had a lanyard standing in line for a margarita i think and a lady saw one of my pins and said that the character was her fav so i gave it to her.
but i have 2 bulletin boards w pins to mount..or sell.. i guess i was for a while w the Piece of History and some of the AP pins but got away from it.

[jnfr2424]

Yes I'm a huge fan of the AP pins or the party pins
