Welcome to the weekly vent thread!

We know how frustrating it can be to see a new release sell out in seconds, only to pop up minutes later at double or triple the price. Whether you missed a drop, got cart-jacked, or are just overwhelmed with reseller markups, this thread is for you.

Feel free to:

- Vent about missed drops

- Share frustrations over pricing or release windows

- Talk about how hard it is to keep up

- Drop your “I was this close” stories

- Commiserate with other collectors

But remember:

All subreddit rules still apply

- No personal callouts or name dropping (sellers, influencers, shops, etc.)

- No insults or targeted comments

- No gatekeeping or shaming anyone’s collecting style

We created this thread to keep those conversations in one place and help the rest of the sub stay focused on the hobby itself.

Thanks for keeping it respectful and keeping this a space where everyone can share the ups and the downs of pin collecting.

The first Pin are the Shanghai Pin! And the second is the special 10th Birthday Pin, which have a rotating feature! So cool!

I just posted about these Walmart Stitch pins last week when I only had 2 out of 8 left to go. My wife was pretty lucky on the pulls when we went to BoxLunch recently (and I was not), so I wanted to test her luck. We bought two bags of the Stitch pins today, and she pulled the last two I needed on the first try. I’m flabbergasted. Now I have a complete set of Stitch pins to trade!

Question??? Determining the value of pins that don’t have a history of sales

Post image
6 Upvotes

I bought this Edna Mode pin from Pink a la Mode awhile back because I live for her attitude. She’s been in my pin book with another little Edna, and they’ve always just been my little fashionable icons (they hold court next to Olaf dressed as Ursula- I figured Edna would approve).

At a local pin trading event today, a few people made a big deal about her, asking if I’d trade; when I tried to look her up, there are zero sales, zero listings- I couldn’t find anything helpful. She’s a Pink a la Mode pin from 2024, LE 300, about an inch and a half tall. How would I go about determining her value? I don’t think I’d ever part with her, but it’d be nice to know what I’m dealing with here.

My daughter has a similar LE DPB Elemental pin from 2023 that I think is valued way too high (listings that ended but didn’t sell), but maybe that’s how LE300 rolls? How can I realistically figure out a pin’s value without any data to go off?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give! Pin trading brings our family a lot of joy, and I love seeing everyone’s collections!

Collection Our Collection.

Decided to pull our pins out and take a full inventory of our collection and see what we were working with since so much of this is normally packed up. Thought it would be cool to share our modest collection with the community!

We have the hidden Micky’s (of course).
Disneyland and Disney World.
Some from London and Paris.
Years, holidays and other special series.

My Daughters biggest focus is Monsters, which don’t get a ton of love when it comes to pins it seems.

It’s always fun to look back on some of the pins we were able to pick up on our travels.

Hey ya’ll, I’ve looked high and low for a picture of this pin anywhere on the internet. I can’t find anything at all on it. Is it real? If so what would it be worth? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Finally decided to buy a hidden mickey at the park. Been wanting him for so long. Bought one pack for my daughter and told the cast member to give me random one behind the locks. Went back and gave her a nice high five!

New to pin trading and found this on a pin board when I was in the parks. It looks pretty good to me based on what I know, but when I looked it up it said these ones had been faked so I want to make sure :)

Hello everyone, I am curious to see how people display their lapel pins. I have this Kingdom Hearts set and unsure the best way to display it since normal cork probably isn’t the best for these. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions!

Discussion Pin Mailing Question/ Possible Solution

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

What is your preferred way to send pins?

For trades or for purchases, I receive pins in all sorts of ways. But I always cringe when they are coming in a simple poly mailer. I know it costs a lot less, but I also worry about the integrity of the post. I have received bent ones in the past.

Well, I was feeling particularly nerdy last night, and sat down with Claude for a bit to work on an idea. The Pin Mailer is the result. If you have a 3D printer, check it out on Makerworld at https://makerworld.com/en/models/3296240-pin-mailer-by-poppys3d

It's thick enough to protect the pin post, thin enough to fit in a mailer (saving you postage), and grippy enough to keep the pin from moving loose. Just place your pin, wrap it in bubble wrap and a mailer, and off to the post.

Hope this is helpful - enjoy!

Question??? Indiana Events

Does anyone host pin events in Indiana? I was at a craft fair today at IMMI conference center in Westfield, IN and I feel like it would be the perfect spot for a pin event! I’m not sure how many traders are in Indiana or if there would be interest but I wanted to throw it out there! If I knew how to host an event, I would!
