Can anyone tell me what these pins are worth?

[Sosai X]

I purchased some nametags from a former cast member, and they stuck me with these as a "bonus gift" ...



First pin says LE JOURNAL DE MICKEY (back stamped "© Disney Limited Edition 100, Disney Auctions Exclusive, China), second says WALT DISNEY'S PLUTO JUNIOR IN TECHNICOLOR (back stamped "© Disney Limited Edition 100, Disney Auctions Exclusive, China), and the thirds is VOLUNTEERS (back stamped "© Disney China). Really these pins are less than worthless to me, I don't collect them, and I don't care for them. I honestly was a step away from tossing them in the garbage, but I thought they might be valuable to someone here. Can anyone tell me more about them? How much are they worth? Are they desirable? Are they even worth my time? Anyone want to make me an offer on them?

forgive the bad color on the scan, it was a quickie picture.

Howdy there!

Definitely some nice gifts, especially Disney Auctions LE 100s. You don't see too many of those. We use a site (Pinpics.com) to look up pins, and I went over to find these for you.

First up, Mickey Journal pin:

It's original price was about $16, and there are currently 42 people wanting that pin, with just one person having it for trade. I would say it's mildly popular (not insanely popular) and would make an excellent trade. If you don't want it, my recommendations would be A) Trade with it for something you do want B) Give it as a gift to someone who may like it -or- C) Sell it on ebay. I think you might get about $15-20 on it, but who knows! I definitely wouldn't toss it, would be a shame to see a pin like that go.

Next pin, pluto junior:

Same statistics on this one about, except there are NO traders out there. Could be pretty popular, but same write up as the pin above.

Last is the Voluntears pin:

I'd say it's an "eh" pin. Not sure of the edition size, 7 trading, 20 wanting. There's really not much to say about this pin, other than it seems you had to earn it by volunteering. I'm sure there are still people out there that would want it.

Over all, I'd say they are nice pins, and you are lucky to have them. If you end up not keeping them, good luck finding a good home.

PS: If you are looking to sell them here, please use the trade/sell boards on MiceChat.

PPS: If you are thinking of trading them in the parks, please be aware of "sharks" who are looking to take advantage of newbies that don't know the value of a pin. Know what you are trading!
