Pin Trade Surprises

[thekaratekid]

Hi all,

I recently just made a trade for [pinpics]31967[/pinpics] and paid no attention to the size PinPics listed. When it came in the mail today I was like DAMMMNNNNN! I didn't realize it was such a nicely done jumbo pin. I know it said jumbo in the title of the pin but I think it blew me away because it is in the shape of a circle so it looks bigger than other jumbos. I was originally planning to trade/sell it but now I'm going to just keep it in my collection. Have you guys ever received a pin that blew you away at how big or small it was once you received it?

I couldn't believe how big it was! It's one of my favorites!

And on the small side, I couldn't believe how small this one was:

Oh yes, the old I never thought it was that size surprise. Those are cool! What I like to do with some folks is send a little something extra in a trade once in a while....sshhhhhh

When I first saw the snow white PODM pin in January 2011, I was a bit suprised at the size

Ha, yes, I traded a while ago for [pinpics]89240[/pinpics] and I was just shocked at how tiny it was when I got it! When it was first uploaded to Pinpics, there wasn't a size listed for it, just that more info would be added later. It says now that it's about an inch and a half by one inch. TINY. :lol: I didn't even get to keep it that long; it arrived in my mailbox, hung out a day or so at my place and then made it's merry way to Belgium for an awesome trade.

not surprised by size so much as "pretty factor." I am working on princesses for my youngest daughter and all be darned if the DLRP Jasmine I got in the mail wasnt just sooo much prettier than the pinpics picture.

Why does Paris get the cool pins?
Why does Tokyo get the cool rides?

**sigh**
