I tried to search for this, but came up blank.
Can anyone tell me how many pins fit in each size pin bag?
I am looking to buy a bag, but don't want to go too small...or too large. :)
I have about 150 traders that I would like to store in the bag.
 
I think for 150 traders you should stick with the big bags and give yourself some breathing room for the future. That's my opinion :)

I have been trading for about 12 years, so I am not sure that my traders will expand over 150. In fact, right now I have about 100 pins in my trade pile. I agree that the small bag is too small.
Any opinions about the medium bag?
Thanks
 
I have the...medium (?) bag/binder thing, with a fold over/snap closure and has a tote handle. I'll see if I can snap some pictures of it later. But I like it WAY more than the bags. Much easier to work with, though it doesn't have a shoulder strap.

Interesting!
Do you ever take it to the parks?
Also, for those of you that do have bags, do you carry them the whole day in the park, or do you trade a bit and then get a locker?
Thanks.

I never take my pins to the park. I'm too afraid I'll leave them somewhere and I don't typically go to trade anyway. I do, however, use it when I go to events. My decision was mostly cost based. The zipper bag is like $70 and this was about $30, just a few dollars more than the teeny tiny pouch bag.

I always take two large zip up bags to the parks, and I always carry them all day. You never know when you might need some good traders! :D

Wow.
That's a lot of hauling for the day. Mostly I want to be able to store the pins in a way that is easy to access and take pictures.
Right now I have them in a craft box with dividers. If I want to take pictures of my traders, I have to take them all out and line them up etc. So having them in a bag would be nice.
At the parks I wear a lanyard., but at Epcot sometimes there are traders with books and it would be nice to have all my pins available for them to see.

P.S. did you get my PM about the Si & Am pin?
 
My favorite bag for traders is the CM bag which is PP# 16377. It's a little smaller than the big bags, but the pages are still large enough to be useful. But because it's a little smaller it fits into a backpack better, and not quite so heavy.

Prior to that I used the Pin Trading Portfolio/Easel. PP# 37769 . Also, slightly smaller. The pages are thinner, so you could attach pins with cards easier, and the open sides made it super easy to take pins in and out. However, because the pages are thinner, sometimes they would flop around too much. And I would put chipboard (like from a Kleenex or cereal box) on the backside to help stiffen the pages.

But these both might take some work to track down.
