I am an optician and I keep all my pins (150ish) in spectacle display boxes scrounged from a supplier!

woow 150!!!^^ i have 62

and what'S a display box???

[ford prefect]

a spectacle display box is a flat case approx 25cm by 80cm with compartments big enough to hold a pair of glasses.

i bought some oasis (the stuff florists use to hold the stems of dried flower arrangements) and cut it to size, the pins look great and are safe from my 2 childrens wandering fingers

Pins from our own collection:  in a frame or on a corkboard.
Pins for trading: in a pinbook.

Total pincount: between 1200 and 1300.

You can buy a 15th Anniversary box set with 400 pins in?? How much??  :shock:

I suspect the box set is limited to only 400 editions - not that it contains 400 pins!  :lol:

Does anyone who's been to DLRP recently know if they still sell the large pin books like this one anywhere, and if so in which shop(s)? I was last there in October last year and couldn't see any. My pins currently live in a holder like this (only mine is a WDW 2005 one), but the collection is starting to outgrow it!

Thanks,

They had them in March. Planning on getting at least one next week.

I kept one of mine on top of the eletricty box but I'm not sure if it's still there, I haven't seen it for a few years.

They were still on sale at the PTD, August 25th.

I bought a pin trading bag from dlrp last year, It is great, has pockets to keep all my spare backs etc.

Yeah I got one for my daughter August 2006, they are really neat, plenty of extra pockets for odds and ends as you say.  82 pins in total up to now, (all my daughters, though it does contain my prized Donald Duck ones).

There is plenty of space in these pin trading bags. Not sure how many they could hold on average. Quite a lot, put it that way.

Sorry for the late reply, only just joined. My pins are on a cork board mounted on a larger board surrounded by photo's. I've only collected pins relevant to the trip... rides I've been on, shows Ive see, years Ive been and hotels stayed in. Hoping for Crush and Cars pins this visit

i too genurallly just buy pins relevent to the stay rather then
"oooooooh lets thake this stitch one, this minnie one and ooh what about this mickey one?"
i genurally like collecting either the limited pins out at the time of visit or if theres a new attraction/show/ parade etc i would normally go for a pin relevent to the new opening
