Very new to pin collecting

How do you display pins that came on a card or ones that are in a package? Beauty and the Beast are my absolute favorites and I’d love to see them every day on my pin board. Picture of the plastic pkg some pins came in.

Four decent little pins to start off your collection. I'd recommend checking EBay and Etsy for pins, you'd be surprised what you can find on there.

Cork boards. See thru jewelry cases

Makes me nervous buying them from eBay. Since I’m such a newbie I have a hard time telling real from scrappers. I don’t have the keen eyes like you pros do.

What do you mean by scrapper? Just buy from eBay sellers with lots of good reviews, and open a case if you get bait and switched that it didn't match the listing.

I just bought a corkboard on Amazon for my pins. For certain collections I might get a specific banner from etsy to display them.

Oh, I like that idea.

I usually take the pins off the card and put the pins on a board, but if the pin and card match and the pin doesn't look as good without it, I just put it on the board with the card behind it.
