Is this good for a new collector?

[jade88]

I only have a handful of pins right now, brand new to collecting and wanted to know if this was a decent book to start with? I don't live near the parks so need something i can buy online.

Hi Jade, and welcome to The Forum. First the binder is at best OK. It is inexpensive, but as you will learn in life offten you get what you pay for. You can just get a good folder and it is often the same thing or better. The folder from Disney is not the best quality. When you put a few pages with a bunch of pins on them the weight of the pages get to be too much. If it is money that is an issue I would say save up and get a better Pin Book from disneyshopping or else where on ebay. I just did a quick scan of your ID did you say your from VA? So are you planning on taking your collection places to trade? If you just want something to "display" your pins, you should just think about coreplast boards. It is something you have to make. But they work great.

AND one more thing, before you get too many pins I would really suggest you make a Pinpics profile and link it to this profile here your tradding will increase exponentially.

If you're interested in displaying your pins then a corkboard would be your best bet. If you're someone like me to who likes to keep them in a bag (so they don't get messed up) then I suggest buying an older pin bag. The newer ones aren't up to par and IMO hold less because the pages are a lot smaller. If you're looking to buy a bag and want to add to your collection then I suggest just purchasing a large pin bag. The last one I saw of the older version went for $40 which is typical for a large bag.
