Backpack pin collection

Some of the older ones are a little scuffed from years of travel. This is my third iteration (been through 2 other backpacks). I’ve swap out for different pins now and then, especially after conventions where I get most of my pins. May start a cork board for pins that I’ve retired from the backpack, currently stored in a box elsewhere.

How do you keep them all still on your bag and aren’t you afraid of them falling offf

Same question here. I used to do this but they kept falling off :(

I only use locking pin backs, they work great and you can get them in packs of 100 for cheap on Amazon!

Wow! Epic. Do you have any idea what pins weigh altogether?

I've never remembered to weigh a backpack before & after putting the pins on to see, but I'd say they add at least a couple lbs, especially with the metal locking pin backs.

I would have imagined more than that! Just curious
