Welcome! Texas is only 40 miles from me from where I reside in New Mexico.

Are you totally new to pin collecting or do you have some experience?

Either way, I encourage you to check out some of the info packed guides created by DPF members:

Pin Guides & FAQs

A general knowledge base for pins including identifying scrappers, counterfeits, and general FAQs and guides. Notable user-written topics and guides are moved here by the moderators.

Um, I'd say I'm totally new to collecting? I've bought/traded for (I'm an artist alley vendor for cons sometimes) some but my collection is under like 15, with most if them being trades of original work from other artist. No theme just what ever strikes my fancy if they like my stuff in return.

At WDW (and DLR) there will be scrappers on the trading platforms the cast members have. I wish there was a way around sharing this. Pin trading is such a blast. Please just be aware.

One way I work with the scrapper issue is to trade lost cost but real pins.

Familiarizing yourself with the current hidden Disney pins might also help. So you have an idea of what you are looking at.
