Organizing Pins

[HazelEyez3]

How do people tend to organize their pins in a pin bag?


By edition sizes?
Characters?
Types of pins (OE, LE, HM)?

Do people tend to leave space for the pins they still need to complete collections?

I organise by themes first by movie then by character. So in my lion king collection I have a rafiki page, scar page, simba page and so on. Also if there are sets within a movie like in my atlantis collection I put all the disney auctions set together ( what I have of it!)

My pin book is an absolute mess unless I know I'm going to be trading, in which case it's organized by edition size (Hidden Mickeys, open editions, limited editions). On every page, I then organize it by approximate value, and for the LE's, they're arranged from largest edition size to smallest. I don't leave room for new pins, so everything gets jumbled, but I do try to reorganize the book every three months or so (or whenever the mess starts to bother me!).

I sort my trading binders by type - PTDs, other DSF, WDI, miscellaneous LEs, international pins, mystery box pins, and then random traders.

I keep mine in pin bags and on lanyards. Each character/theme gets a page(s). Since I've expanded to four pin bags some stuff gets its own page. For example Tiana has been promoted from the general princess page to her own page and Zero has a page while all the other NBC has a lanyard.

Hahaha... I have one page of traders amd it's not even a full page. But I tend to put like pins beside each other. HM sets, character, then go from there.

I organize mine by space. If the pin is small enough to go in that space then that's where it goes.

I keep sets I've collected together, otherwise I organize by theme. Mostly, then it works out to be chronological. So with say, my Alice in Wonderland pins...I don't keep all the Alice pins on a page, then all the Cheshire pins, etc. I just fill in space randomly, with all characters mixed together as I get them. If I know a pin is part of a series, but I don't have all the pins yet, I will try to leave space. For example, in my frame which includes my PTD's I have empty space in case the prices ever drop back down to where I am willing to buy more. But the 4 I currently have, are displayed together.

I use binders and pin pages for my pins that I keep, and I sort them by theme, like Star Wars, Scrooge, etc. For my traders, I present "Rolling Thunder"

That is organized via location and pin size, like DSF/DSSH, WDI/D23, Foreign, etc.

I think you are asking about how to arrange your collection in a pin bag. You could/should store it by the collection genre. Personally I only store my traders in a bag by value usually. I store my collections on a pin board so I can see them every time I walk into my office.

However you decide, look at them and enjoy them.

I second that, I really would like to see how these work.

Thanks everyone. You are correct with what my question was Vans. I have several ideas now.
