Cassidy W Posted March 6 Posted March 6 I'm Cassidy! I have started collecting a few weeks ago and I have loved interacting with everyone on Facebook groups and WhatNot. I mostly collect Sleeping Beauty and have started collecting Vanessa from The Little Mermaid. I hope to attend my first pin trading event in May. Living in the Midwest does make attending events difficult. I used to collect Funko pops for 10 years and fell out of love with it. Then I found Disney pin collecting and fell in love (especially with how much less room they will take up). I look forward to interacting with more collectors in this great community. 2 Quote
TheTwins Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Hi! Welcome to PinPics! So glad you're enjoying pins and have the opportunity to attend an event in May. That's great! Also glad you've found our forum here. There are lots of great traders and collectors from all over the country . . . well, the world, actually. We have a weekly ZOOM meeting on Thursday Nights, and we'd love to meet you on there sometime. It's always a fun group of pin friends, and if you have any questions, it's a great place to ask them!

kiwigirl Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Welcome. I live in the midwest too so events aren't always easy to get to. I know there is one near Chicago but I have yet to go. There is one in Dayton OH in June. Not sure where in midwest you are. If you come to the Thursday night zoom meeting as TheTwins mentioned above, you can learn more about it and meet some folks who are going plus meet some great members of the pin collecting community. Some of their collections are just WOW!!! Quote

The trade event I plan on going to in May is in Kansas City. It will be small I'm sure. Quote
