Traded a CM @ Storybook Circus for a LE 800 JDS Stitch Pin. Now What?
Alright, Stitch fans, here's my story.
Last Saturday at the Magic Kingdom, I was lucky enough to trade with a Cast Member for this adorable little Stitch and Angel pin: http://gallery.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=75658&sid=3940.1360816913
The CM told me that a Japanese couple had traded it to her not five minutes before I got to her. It's in perfect condition - no scratches, dents, bubbles or dips in enamel or glitter. The back matches the description listed in PinPics. The weight seems good for its size. I feel pretty confident that it's legit. The only thing that seemed strange to me is that it had a traditional pinback, not one of the Mickey-shaped pinbacks. But I've never had a JDS pin, and it's older, so I'm not sure if this was the original pinback, or if perhaps the original owners lost it, and used this instead.
I can post pictures at some point tomorrow (it's still tucked in my luggage somewhere, I should probably unpack...) but my questions are:
- Is it weird that it doesn't have a Mickey-shaped pinback? (probably not, these things are easily lost, but I'm curious to see what you guys think)
and
- Will it trade well? I'm one of the 9 people who have it listed for trade, and 61 people are looking for it... those odds seem good to me, but I've got no idea what something like this is worth in the trade world. I hope that question makes sense.
Not sure what I'm looking for for it... I might hold onto it for some upcoming releases, but I don't collect Stitch so I have NO idea where to go from here... I'd like to ultimately see it find a home worthy of it's cuteness. I simply don't collect Stitch!
Thank you guys! <3
