PIN HAUL Half my haul from Tokyo thrift stores

[nickerjones]

Low level new collector here. I am in Tokyo hosting adult hockey and came across pins in some places so picked them up. Love seeing ones with tokyo on them or from early 2000s. Also think its fun seeing US park pins showing up in Tokyo.

Nice haul!

Any of them traders or all of them keepers?

Thats probably a question for my 7 year old once i get home and he sees them. But i dont think he (or I) will be super attached to any of them. If there is something you really want or need Im sure something can be done about it.

Nothing jumps out at me as a super want... but was curious. Mostly trying to gage if you are only a collector and buyer of pins or also a trader. Some pin people don't trade.

Those are very nice pins! The Disney Ambassador Hotel pins and Wonderbles (the large poster pins) are two series I am working on myself.

I think the social aspect of trading is pretty high on my interest in pin trading, especially for my 7 year old. He is “socially awkward”. Originally I got into pins bc I bought a pin pack at the park so he would interact with the staff pin traders. He enjoyed it so here i am finding pins in weird places so we can do that more

Love to hear it! As a thirty something socially awkward adult, pin trading really helped bring me out of my shell. If he ever wants to do a snail mail trade, just for fun and to make a new friend, please let me know!

P.S. Thrifting… in TOKYO? New bucket list item. I’m jealous!

It is a lot of fun! We went to the same mall OP went to, in 2018. I intended to post a Trip Report, but never finished it. But this is what I thrifted on that trip

If I ever get to Tokyo, I need to remember this.

The store in Nakano Broadway is the biggest one. But there are a lot of those stores around Japan. I actually just picked up a whole bunch of pins from Akihabara today and I’ll post them soon. I also found this huge set of Coca-Cola pins in a frame.

I hope you brought a big suitcase.
