Congratulations to our first 2026 Trusted Trader!

[TheTwins]

There's been some hot and heavy pin trading going on here since New Year's Day, and we're excited that this has been a pretty close race for spot #1 in the 2026 Trusted Trader list. Not even half-way through the first month of the year, and we have our first Trusted Trader of 2026 -- d.ducks!

 

 

@d.ducks John has been a long-time pin trader on PinPics, and we had the pleasure of meeting him in person at Dayton Disneyana last year. Not only does he hold the position of #1 on the Trusted Trader list, but he's also the PinPics user with the most trading feedback! If you have the opportunity to trade with John, we definitely recommend sending him a trade request. (Please trade with @TheTwins as well, since we have a very friendly rivalry going on to see who can receive the most trades/feedback this year.  )

 

  

 

 

The year is off to a great start, and we're looking forward to a lot more Trusted Traders joining the ranks. If you'd like to view the Trusted Traders of 2025 Hall of Fame, or you'd like to learn how to earn your own badge and pin, check out this page: https://pinpics.com/trustedtrader/

 

Thanks to all the great members who make online trading such a great hobby in this community!

Congratulations John. I feel so fortunate to have traded with you when I started collecting.  Your kindness and willingness to take the time to help me get started will always be appreciated. You have set the standard and demonstrated why this is such an enjoyable community to be a member of. 

 

Also a thank you to Molly, Joe, Elizabeth, Sara and the others who keep this site going without your efforts I don't get the chance to communicate with John and others like you who make pin collecting so enjoyable.
