Pin Organization Questions

[Mcgilligan]

Hello everyone!

I am curious as to how everyone stores all of their pin collection (traders, keepers, mystery sets, le, pins with and without backs, DisneyShopping, DA, DMC w/ COA, in short all disney pins).

My family and I are moving, and I will get an office to store all of my pins (I will not be able to display the majority of them). It is probably over 600 pins.

I have pin binders and pin bags - which are great for traders and sets/themes. But what should I do for the rest? The others are in various Sterilite bins of varied sizes(depending on the category it falls under, at least 4 or 5 of the 66qt. Size).

I feel that this system is not the best for me, and I would like to try a new one.

I will post pictures soon.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Most of my keepers are framed in my room. (I have a LOT of pin boards stretched over one wall.) My holiday pins are in separate shadow boxes that I store in cupboards when it's not the right season. My traders are sometimes all on one big cork board where I can see them, or sometimes in a pin binder when I feel like my room is too cluttered. (I have less than 100 traders, so they're not too difficult to move around.)

I struggle with the same thing but am currently using painters canvases from Michaels that I spray painted a stone fleck color. Pins stand out nice and I can easily hang or stack and store. I just make sure that nothing is close to the edge so that one canvas stacks on another. Currently I like it. Good Luck!!

This is how I store/display mine. Good luck on what ever you decide.

While I try to get my pins in frames, on boards, or in bags/albums, most of the pins I've gotten over the last 2 years are being stored in baseball card storage boxes like these. It works pretty well as long as the pins are of standard size and on standard size cards.
