Auction Ended: Tinker Bell Century of Dreams Pin - Ends Wed, May 20th at 9pm EST

[MomeRathsOutgrabe]

Up for auction is this Tinker Bell pin, which was pin #81 in the Century of Dreams series. It appears to be identical to PinPics Pin 549 from the Countdown to the Millennium Series. I believe Century of Dreams was the Japan Disney Store's counterpart to the Countdown to the Millennium series. This auction will end at 9pm EST on Wednesday, May 20, 2015. My preferences are listed below, but are far from exhaustive, as I am an overall Disney fan, so bid freely.

Pins I like include:
Anything from my Wants List (PinPics ID: outgrabed)
Alice in Wonderland Characters
Lady & The Tramp
Thumper and Flower (from Bambi)
Cinderella's Mice (Gus and Jaq)
Chip & Dale (esp. with Clarice)
Scrooge McDuck
Gaston
Characters (esp. animals) from classic animated films (i.e. 1930s-1970s)
Waldorf & Statler (from Muppets)
Splash Mountain/Song of the South Characters

Pins I don't care for as much:
I generally don't care for pins based on contemporary films, or other Disney-owned companies like Marvel, Lucasfilm and Pixar. However, I keep finding exceptions to that rule, and I did enjoy Beauty & The Beast, Up, Tangled, Monsters, Inc. and Brave, so I wouldn't necessarily rule out pins from those films.

I don't see this pin or any pin with Century of Dreams in pinpics database when I search. Where did you get it?

Is it possible to get a picture of the back of the pin and of the card?

Sure, I will post a photo when I get home. The only other Century of Dreams pin I found listed in PinPics was Pin 15998, which was pin #1 in the series. The back of this pin has a rectangle with (c) Disney, over Fotoball (R), over Made in China. Beneath that is another rectangle with "Pin #81 of 101". Background is Mickey heads.

If you know something I don't about these pins, please let me know. The only info I could find was from the PinPics listing on Pin 15998.

that is exactly the same as pin 549. I wonder if somebody took that pin and put a new card on it. It is very rare for pins from Japan to be the same as ours. There was one series that was similar to ours but the base metal was different as was the LE amount.

One more day to bid!

This certainly is strange, because if you look above the numbers, it says "Fotoball", which is the pin manufacturing company that did the "Countdown to the Millennium" series. But either way, I still like it! (I know I'm jumping in a little late. ): ) But I'll start out with:

Pin 30894 USA Olympic Logo - Chip & Dale
