Most of those pins came out in the late '80s early '90s - back when it was just pin buying and no trading. Thanks for the kind comments!
 
This is AWESOME! I didn't know so many Marvel/DC pins existed. I love the X-Men pins and Batmans best of all! I see a Rogue... Is the one next to her, with the brown hair, in the blue, a Shadowcat pin? OMG.
 
So it looks like you are displaying them on fabric banners hung from curtain rods..?
That's a neat idea. Do you like it? I'm running out of room for shadow boxes, and the biggest ones are just so heavy!
 
We get canvas or duck cloth and then hem it into the shape we want and hang it on a curtain rod. We don't go too large because of the weight. Our newest one is about four feet wide and 18 inches tall. We have a much nicer rod with finials that "fit" the Disney image. The fabric is pretty forgiving and we can move the pins around as needed. All in all it makes a nice way to display the pins and you can put them pretty tightly on there. We are going to make some special shadow boxes for the grails.
 
Thanks! Here is a closer image of them. These will eventually go on a shadowbox with a star field and semi-transparent clock with the seal of Rasillon in the center. The Doctors are placed at the number associated with their incarnation - 1st Doctor at 1 o'clock and so forth.

Oh my goodness! That is Such a Good idea! And extremely creative! :)
Make sure to post pictures after it's done! Please? :)
 
I'd be happy to. Just waiting until my wife gives me my allowance so I can get the shadowbox and stuff. Walmart has a feature at their photocenter where you can upload an image and have it printed on canvas so that's what I'm saving my pennies for next. Here is the background image I'm going to use:

Wow, I love your Marvel and DC pins! Where are good places to find those? I know they had some DC pins at Six Flags. Not sure if they have them anymore. Your Donald Duck collection is really nice, too!
 
Everything in my collection except the Disney and a few of the anime / other pins I bought in the late '80s and early '90s. They are all long discontinued and to my knowledge they only appear on ebay occasionally. I don't know of any other collection like this one and haven't found any other online collectors of them either. Kinda sad as they are really cool pins. I'm hoping since Disney now owns Marvel they will resurrect some of these and make new ones but so far I've only seen a couple.

Donald is growing rapidly since the first pin trade in Feb of this year (when we first took the plunge into Disney pin trading.

Good thing you got those when they were available. Yeah, I think you have a very unique collection. Disney pins are great, but I love other kinds of pins too.
 
Aw man! I love your pin of The Tick!
Also, there is a warm spot in my soul for all things Ghibli, but especially the catbus. :3
