Why/How did you get started in Pin Trading?
To continue with this story, around the time Gillian started collecting, I got a Sleeping Beauty pin or two. I became a cast member in 2004 and had access to buying cast pins. Since Gillian was still trading and collecting, I began collecting along with her.In 2003 my uncle was dating someone who was a cast member and also collected pins. One day she showed me her TinkerBell collection and I was amazed by how many pins she had! I was instantly hooked and we spent that summer aquiring handfulls of pins. I became a cast member the next year and began trading with others. The only thing I was disappointed in was that while I had heard of Disney Auctions I was confused on how to purchase any of the pins so I never did.
She had so many pins and would go to the parks constantly to trade but to this day I have never found anyone who knew her and we have lost touch several years ago.
:lol:Two Disney trips ago, my wife and I wanted something to do between rides/shows, decided to buy a couple of lanyards and some hidden Mickey packs... I found myself pretty motivated to trade since I had a bunch of Princess Mirror HMs around my neck...
