Well we can't fit all our traders on the lanyards so we will probably need a pin bag of some sort. Need some tips on what to get, where to get it or if you have any tips on how to make one yourself.

How many pins does each size of the bag hold? Small, medium, large?

Does anyone have pictures on how big they are?

I dont have any disney store near so I guess I will have to go on ebay. Or does anyone here have anyone for sale?

I do like do do crafts so any tips on how to make one my self is also very welcome!
 
Hello friend...:) i just so happen to have a few extra pin bags..the small bags usually have two to four pages...ull fill it up fast

The best is to get the large one u can fit like 200 pins..maybe more

I find i out grew my small and med bag quickly..
In my opinion to save money..u might as well get a big one. :)

Im just afraid a large bag will be to much to carry around. Do you know how many a medium would fit?

Unless its some kind of traders meeting there I probably will have a hard time finding someone to trade with anyway. Exept with CM and those I probably wont trade the older pins with but only our booster packs pins. But it might be fun ta have a bag with some of the pins that makes better traders if I find someone.

Or maybe I should get a small one each for the kids... Oh this is hard! But I do think a large one will be to big. We only have like 50 pins or so :) And we still havent found anyone who trades in Sweden so I dont even know if I ever get the chance to go and trade in person again after WDW in June. :)
 
There isn't really a exact number and what a medium bag will hold as all pins are different sizes. I just recently bought a large bag for my pins and I love it. I don't take it with me to the parks because like you said it would be too big to haul around so I just take some traders to the park. I would think if you are starting out the book shouldn't be that heavy so you can probably haul around with you until it gets to be a bother.
 
Another good thing too is to find out how frequently other traders go the park and then that way you can bring your book on those days. Like for DLR there are traders out almost every weekend. I go on the weekdays though and I never see any
 
Good tips! We will be at WDW for a whole week in june. But I dont know if we can make it there again. Quite expensive to go from Sweden. Might go to Paris sometime though. But most of my tradig will be made online. I do really hope that I can meet some of you forum guys at WDW when we are there! Would be so fun to meet in person!
 
I was wondering about bags too. I have nowhere near enough pins for fill one yet, but I'm thinking of getting one. Does anyone know if they sell them at Disneyland Paris? I'm going there in June and would quite like to get one :)
 
I am getting a Medium pin bag tomorrow :) My friend picked it up for me from WDW. I too feared that a large bag would be just too much, especially because I don't have all that many traders. So I thought Medium would be a good size to carry around the parks, not to mention it was heck of a lot cheaper than the large one. Large ones were about $50 or so and I believe the medium one was $35-$40 (he won't tell me exactly because it was a gift haha).
 
I would also want to see à picture on how big the bags are in comparison.
I think i will buy à medium for me and two small for the kids.
 
If you don't want to spend a lot of money on a pin bag, go to the 99-cents store (well it's 99.99 cents now) or the $1 store and pick up a CD case/holder. Strengthen them with a little cardboard or thick napkins and use them for your traders.

That's what I do (for our rack pins, hidden mickeys, some "lower" LEs). For the higher end stuff we use binders with trading card pages or binders with photo pages.
