Anybody get stressed trying to display pins

I was just sorting pins and decided to open the "new" shadow box I had gotten for my Aristocats pins and
It was broken. One of the corners came apart and the paint was chipping off. So I put the pins away for now.

I worry sometimes if I rearrange things that I'll like them better the way they were before . . . so I've started taking pictures of the boards before I start.
And I use an old Pokémon card (a duplicate of a very common card!) to get pins off the boards. Sliding the card between the board & the back of the pin makes it so much easier to lift the pin straight out.

I did that once. Had to change it back.

100%, I broke a post this year and had to replace the pin at an event last month. Ticked me off
My anxiety comes from not having enough wall space or the type of display I want. Or not wanting to separate my pins from their original cards until I have archived the Price, SKU, and a notation that I did get it on original card somewhere. That takes a lot of time, I don't always want to invest in that part. Then I get anxiety about not having displayed my pins.
really think about ROI on pins so i want to display them but im afraid my kids will play with them (lost 2 already) or someone will randomly pull off my board (lots of houseguests). shadow boxes are OK but i really want a pretty princessy set up 🥹

It took me years to even display any of my pins. I hated the idea of taking my pins off their backer cards or out of their packaging. It takes me a long time to match up a board with the collection I want to display and then even longer to choose the pins that will make the cut onto the board. Then I have to place them just right. Takes me far too long.
I have so many unopened/unused boards right now waiting for me to decide which of my pins will make the cut.
