So after reading through some forum threads on how to display your pins I decided to go with the common cork board! I was not 100 percent sold on this at first but I quickly changed my mind when I found out a large cork board was only 10 bucks! Woot! haha

Next I took all the pins I want to keep and put them on the board. It is SO NICE to display them this way and my wife will be helping out with getting my PODMs into a frame.

So thank you to those that made the suggestions and gave some examples! It nice to have a light pin bag and a nice place to display my collection!

Here are some pics. Enjoy!

My Vinylmation collection. I finished off the Star Wars one! I need just 1 more to finish my NBC too!

I love the Tshirt pins and the cupcake set for some reason :)

Here is the pirate set I traded for at DTD. I realized later on the trip home that some are most like scrappers BUT they are staying in my collection until I can find the real deal this WEEKEND!! WOOT!

These Icon pins were the death of me! I was soo discouraged at tracking the rest down until yesterday when I got 8 of them in the mail! Thanks <forgot your username> for the sale!

Here are my favorite pins. The breakfast ones for some odd reason are awesome to me and I love golf and love Oliver and Company!

These pins each mean something to me. They have a story behind them. The R2-D2 mickey pin was the 2nd pin I ever bought. The 3 Callbelleros ride at Epcot was the first one my wife and I rode together on our honeymoon. The genie was my first trade at Disney back in September. I love the Robin hood movie and bought that from someone on here :)

The preservation pin is awesome to me as well. I love Animal Kingdom and will be bummed that I will not be going this time around.

Thanks for looking! I hope to have this expanded when I get home from vacation on the 20th!!! woot!!
 
Thanks Starry...I was a bit worried about the goofy pin.They were the first set I ran around WDW and DTD to finish off so I love them!

Funny story quick... I went down in Sept last year and found the pluto pin literally 2 minutes after stepping off the bus. I did NOT trade for it...I was not that interested in it until I realized it was part of a set. I then scrambled for 5 days to find all of them. The final pin I needed....the dang pluto pin! I found it about 1 hour before we left DTD to head back to the hotel to pack for our early departure the next morning! lol I still get a laugh about that one
 
great collection!!! if you need any suggestions for you PODMs i set up a shadow box with LED lights that turned out pretty well. You can take a look at the pics i posted on the thread i started for my collection :)
 
Abrown1087! I will most definitely take a look! I am a newbie to displaying the pins and after how awesome these pins look on my cork board I am excited to get a frame when I get back on the 20th
 
Oh, and I frame my pins and know how pricey frames can be; I get mine at thrift store, :lol:, and usually on 1/2 off days, so they end up being pretty cheap! ;D Just a suggestion...
