Hi I am going to back off on collecting PODM pins as the scenes I want are getting pricey for me. I am debating if I should auction them 1 at a time, sell them, or trade them so I want your opinion. The PODMs I have and will be getting rid of are Snow White, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Jungle Book, Dumbo, Lady and the Tramp, Sword in the Stone, Steamboat Willie (signed on the card by artist), Lonesome Ghost, Beauty and the Beast, and Pluto's Christmas Tree. All of the pins are on their original card so please vote on what you think I should do. Thank you everybody.
 
You could just keep them and since the price is some what high trade em for more of you expensive wants. But if you need the money sell the pins. In the end it's down to your situation
 
I would love to vote on this poll, but there is no option that says "Give them all to mischiefmanaged." It would make your decisions much easier! :lol:


If you're serious about getting rid of them, I would maybe start with the less popular ones and hold onto the harder ones (Snow, Cindy, Alice, Dumbo, L&tT, etc). You don't want to change your mind in the middle of getting rid of them and decide to collect them again, just to realize you gave away the hardest ones.
 
I think that you don't need a whole collection of pins to enjoy the ones you have, so if there are any you particularly like, keep them and enjoy looking at them, especially if they fit in with your other collections, if there are any you bought just to complete the collection, sell them, and maybe you could then afford one you really like! :)
 
I agree with every post I have read, keep them, I have not seen your scenes, can you share them with us?? But if you enjoied collecting them and like the scenes of the ones you have, you may regret it. I bought at the El Capitan the Tangled Marquee and Max pins, I traded them away thinking I would get them back, well I havn't and don't think I will, I am so frustrated and angry at myself. If you ever decide you want to start collecting PODMs again, you wont have those few you have that are possible incredible scenes, I'd hang onto them, take a break, and just set them aside and work on one of your other pin collections, mabey you had some frustrating moments trying to get the scene you would like, but it will happen for you. I settle for a second or third scene and when I up my scene, I use the other one as a trader to help work on upping another PODM scene. Hang in there, they will come to you in time.
 
Here are the PODM scenes that Matt emailed me to post for him.

Snow White



Cinderella



Alice in Wonderland



Jungle Book



Dumbo




Lady & The Tramp



Sword In The Stone



Steamboat Willie




Lonesome Ghosts

Pluto's Christmas

 
Thanks guys, your beast is wonderful, the Snow White one soo cute!! DEFINATELY keep that one or give it to me, And out of the cinderella ones you have a very full and pretty scene, and I have a very similar mad hatter so have to say that one is EXCELLENT! Lol
 
I would suggest that you sell some of them and recoup your money.

The few older ones, like Snow White, Cinderella and Alice might get you good trades maybe.

Best of luck :)
 
Here is my delema with PODM. What is your ultimate goal with them? Are they just staying on boards or in books. This is my problem. I have every one but snow white and cindy....but they dont show in a book and im not huge on displaying my pins all over. This is my passion and hobby but i dont want my house to be a Disney...others live here LOL

So unless one day i make a lighted tastful display that also does not damage the pins, i to may sell them all. I am frugle and suggest if you have any debt you are paying interest on and can sell these while they are hot, do it and pay off bills or put in the bank for an emergency. We all dont know whats gonna happen with these cells?? Myabe in 5 years they will be fading and cracking and with be all worth ****. imagine that!

So i voted and put in my 2 cents. good luck
