I am curious to see just how OLD some of the pins you have in your trade book are.
Bid your OLD, ancient, obscure, Fab 5 characters here.

Besides, aren't you tired of seeing EVERY auction say "I don't want Fab 5" ????

A FaBuLoUs Fab 5 auction!!!!
​

Pin 69734: WDW - Marquee - Alarm Clock - Mickey Mouse

​

Pinticulars:​



  • [*=left]LE: 1000
    [*=left]Trading: 19
    [*=left]Wanting: 45
    [*=left]on card.


What to bid::
​



  • [*=left]Other Fab 5 pins.
    [*=left]The older the pin is, the better I will like the bid.
    [*=left]NOT hidden Mickeys, I am looking for old Fab 5 stuff.

These are the Fab 5 characters:

Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto.

Auction ends on: Firday night May 24th
at this time: 11:59pm PST
((and 42 seconds as usual))
​

psycho small print: Yeah, I got sick of seeing the "don't want fab 5" in all the auctions running. Fab 5 is cute, not that i collect it but they are cute characters. And totally classic Disney. Since I have done auctions for hidden mickeys, I figured it was time to give these guys some love! ​


​
 
As a particular lover of Mickey & Minnie... I love this! Let's see what we can come up with for a starter bid...

Pin 569: Main Street USA (Mickey Mouse)
Pin 743: Roller Blading/Skating - Mickey
Pin 11178: 12 Months of Magic - Minnie Mouse

 
yay this is awesome/hilarious. I have an ancient plastic minnie head I got at a flea-market sunday, couldn't find her on pinpics though!
 


The Mickey pin is from 1989, still in its packaging. The Pluto pin is from DL's 35th Anniversary which was 1990.

Is that old enough?
 
I love this kind of auction and actually would make a bid. BUT I want to make sure the other pin I sent U reaches U before sending any others. GREAT auction though. I get so tired of LHNC auctions.. Lol.
 
ok we have 3 bids. I am really stoked to see these neat old pins coming out! I hope to see some other cool old stuff as the auction continues.

Nblaughs: can you find a pic of that pin you have? its a plastic, so it might not make the leaderboard but I am curious.

leaderboard:
1~ Hopemax: super old and on card? thats uncommon. also positive trade/wants. very nice!!
2~Nettiejeanne: very cute grouping.
3~ Pooh'shotstuff: the eurodisney group is very interesting, but peter is not fab 5 and the trade/want ratios are upsidedown.

Keep those bids coming folks! And feel free to change 'em up if needed.
 
This is my oldest fab 5 character, it's not a winning bid but its a cute pin:

Pin 11107: DLR - FAB 5 Character Pins (Goofy Sitting)

Sorry, I'm not bidding, I know it's probably really bad ettiquite to comment like this, I'll blame it on being a newbie. I just wanted to say thank you for posting these! I own these five pins, had them for as long as I can remember, possibly my entire life (they are certainly 15 years old or more) and now thanks to the pin pics links I know far more about them . I knew they came from my grandparents and that was it. Now I know where they got them, and I think it's really cool. Even if they are common and unpopular, I love them . At least it might be easy for me to get the last three in the set.
Thanks so much for bidding them and inadvertantly helping me out!

Sorry to interject without bidding, but I just had to say thank you to you for posting these pins. I've had these five for as long as I can remember (They're at least 15 years old!) and all I ever knew was that my grandparents gave them to me. Now I know where they got them, and that there's three more in the set that I can look out for. I think it's pretty cool to know I've got some fairly vintage pins, even if they are common/unpopular.
Thanks so much for bidding these and inadvertantly helping me!

1~ Nettiejeanne: the Stamp, Osaka and main street pins are great and what make this bid first place.
2~ riftraft: the vintage USPS puts you a very close second.
3~ Hopemax: the super old mickey is great!

For the rest of my bidders, great to see some neat Fab 5 come out of the woodworks.
