GRAIL Christmas Grail Magic!

[ViciousLady]

I came back to pin trading with the express purpose of finding the grail that had evaded me for almost two decades. I have been slowly building up traders, preparing to embark on this whole journey - AND my amazing wonderful husband shocked the ever loving daylights out of me with my grail as a Christmas present. I am still kind of in shock and just keep staring at her, it's the first time I've ever even see this pin in person and I guess in the back of my head it felt like I might never actually lay hands on her. He asked me if that meant I was done collecting and then laughed, because he knows there's no way.

Anyway - thought I'd share with all the lovely people here and ask if anyone else got pins for Christmas (grail or otherwise). One of my amazing friends found the lady sugar cookie pin that she saw me open a bunch of boxes trying to get and gave me that as well so I ended up with two unexpected LATT pins for my collection.

@dznycrzyfmly - LOL I know I should absolutely think about it, I was already trying to come up with my second tier of grails to aim for. There have been so many gorgeous new LATT pins that have come out! There's a set of Lady, Tramp, and Peg in dapper wear that are the closest contenders right now I think. For now though, I am just reveling in finally having this pin!!!!

I have the holy grail. I have a stage 3 CPP 2006 million dreams Minnie and Mickey with Cinderella's castle with the red flags in the center the wait is 12.8 g it's not magnetic it's smooth there's no indentations or bumps and I believe it's either one of one or one of three the writing is embedded in the metal it's not on top of it it has a waffle hat on the back and it looks like it was written with a sharpie of three and then an underline and then directly below that cpp. I'm told that this is almost mythical because to find one is like coming across the winning lottery ticket
I've done everything I could to try to debunk it since I'm not an avid collector but I do know it was not supposed to leave the factory and there's probably only one floating around and whoever collects that series because it's the one that was given to random cast members and it wasn't publicly put out for sale so it's rare to begin with and then being stage 3 it could be the only one of its kind so I studied and figured this would be the place where somebody is looking to have a complete collection that no one else probably could have and would appreciate it and value it and understand it's historical context.

@base065 - Wow! I'd love to see some pics! I don't collect Minnie/Mickey, but it's always cool to see what prototypes look like.

First time using this format so I'm not sure how they're translating but trust me they're meant and really pretty cool little piece I imagine it'll be some very interested collectors and rightfully so.
