New year’s (pin) resolutions

[CCofRR13]

I think I am going to try to complete a few sets we have open. There is a train set that my oldest son is collecting that I'd really like to finish. I believe there is also a few superheros I need for one of my husband's sets. Those are just the ones on the top of my brain at the moment. I got to dig through our stuff and see what else we need.

My pin resolution is to do everything I can to get the last 5 Minnies dressed as princesses that I need to complete my collection. They are hard to find but I really hope this is the year I make it!

I was there for that trade. I remember when sis traded a pin we had just gotten that day off a cast member lanyard for the BT! We had traded one of our cheaper trader pins (remember when park traders were like $3-5 each in the starter pack?). The pin she traded was a DSF LE300 pin (so same LE size) with Tinker Bell and the Hollywood Walk of Fame Star. Those were the days, when people traded LE size for LE size, etc. My guess is that whoever traded it to the CM had gotten it at a clearance price at DSF (we hadn't gone to DSF yet at that point, but we heard they used to clearance out LE pins!)

I was one of the people who used to do that - DSF clearance pins were $3-$4 each and were the cheapest traders I had access to during that time. So I would put them out there as traders. I remember being at a DL trade event where all I had to trade for pins on their boards were DSF LE's I'd gotten at clearance prices. And I remember one CM going "are you SURE you want to trade that?" as I was trading probably a marquee pin for like a $5-$6 pin off the board. And I was like "they're the only cheap traders I have". lol So they shrugged and I made the trade.

Now in retrospect... lol

Mine are to get my pins from my parents' house to my new home, figure out how to display/ hang them, and work on some new displays
