I have been selling our collection for over 10 years on various platforms. Recently I have had 2 people return pins to me with in a month, stating they are fake. I have been collecting since the beginning 1998. The pins in question from these two buyers were not fake. No way. I Bought from Disney personally. It gets me to the core. I am sure they were regretting the purchase and just making excuses to send back. But to call me a lyer and down and out fake seller. It hurts. From what I have learned over the years, many pins look different , even though they are the same. Pins are unique and one run of them maybe slightly different from the next. Esp pins coming out back in the beginnning. How do I sell the rest of my collection, my daughters do not want any longer? I am over ebay and etsy. Any thoughts?

Better pic of the back!

Hello! Is this Lion King Pin real? It was gifted to me.

We'll zap @pins2mars! Thanks for playing!

Thanks! I want to try featuring the different monthly US flyers this year to help people notice them more and stay up-to-date with their lists.

Love your banners!!

It was 23 in central Florida, two water fittings in the fields failed.

The new year has really started out with a pin-trading bang with the release of new Hidden Disney pins and now a banner month coming in February! Not only are some of the Pin-of-the-Month series causing major excitement, but an original and colorful Muppets series is coming to the parks near you. We've got all the new flyer pins added to the database, so start making those pin lists today! The Muppets Disney Park Day Series And for all the Muppets lovers out there, this is a great moment in pin releases! The Muppet Disney Park Day series is being released across all six US Disney Parks. There are three LE pins for each park, plus a ten-pin mystery set for Disneyland and a ten-pin mystery set for Walt Disney World. Even the incomparable Bean Bunny makes an appearance! All of these pins are also added to the database, so check them out today and start making your lists. Patience is the Key Remember, don't fret if you can't get to the parks or have trouble finding some of these pins. You can always work at trading them here on PinPics! This is a great place to find those pins you're looking for, and don't forget that if you exercise a bit of patience, most pins will be obtainable within six to twelve months. Happy Trading!

Love my Mickey head flag icon pins.

Looking at those pictures makes me feel better about our temps.

Such fun ideas! I haven't quite figured out how I'd like to display it just yet, but I made a challenge for myself in 2024 to collect as many wedding-themed pins I could before my Sept 2024 wedding date. We got married in Hawaii, so I also ended up collecting some awesome themed pins to add to the group too. I plan to make a shadow box display and hang it next to our wedding photo

Hi! I collect Small World and have these on my wish list. Unfortunately, this particular one is not listed for trade by anyone on PinPics right now Hopefully that changes! Keep checking back, good luck.

Love this

@kateshanbarger I know you have some cute stuff!!!

Love these comments, thank you!

@utbeautyandthebean Metal unfortunately just...does tarnish over time and exposure, BUT depending on how and where you display them they should be okay. I mean that tiny tarnish after 20 years in a box isn't wild. I'd suggest if you frame them for display to make sure there's UV protection (so printed elements don't fade), and a silica packet at the bottom of the frame (to help avoid tarnish from excess humidity).

For the metal only, I've used a combo of baking soda and vinegar to remove tarnish from the metal and pin backs. But as viciouslady stated, be extremely careful with any screen print.

Hey, thank you for taking the time to respond, I appreciate it! I just have this growing collection of old and fairly valuable pins that I want to make sure I don’t damage. Smart move - starting with something basic and not overly complicated. I’ll try that and see what happens. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? It feels like if my pins that were stored in a box for the last 20 years are showing signs, I’m doomed when I bring them out, wanting to display them. For the most part, I haven’t seen too much damage, but most heavily on WDI pins, ironically! I think it will bode well for me hopefully, that I live in a very dry climate?!

I love sharing my ideas. Nothing is copyrighted I am a teacher by trade so o love teaching and sharing what I know. I have most tutorials on my YT and reels on my other socials. Let me know if you have any questions. I’m always willing to help.

I have the LF pin set too. It’s funny how I look at it now and this how funny it is I created a 3D version! I love the creativity of using pins to feed my passion for paper crafting.

When it comes to pin cleaning it's always vital to know what pin elements you're working with. Anything screen printed on a pin can easily be rubbed off by even the most gentle cleaners. And any FreeD rubber parts can be ruined by the wrong chemical exposure. If it's just pure metal I'd honestly use a q-tip and some light circular rubbing. I've dared to use a q-tip and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol on the backs of pins if they have a little tarnish, grime, or sticker residue on them. A tiny drop of dawn liquid soap with water usually is enough though without having to resort to that. A small microfiber cloth (like for cleaning jewelry or glasses) might also help.

@pattimWhat an amazing multilayered pin display, it draws my eye and it's so pleasing!
