Recent Pin Aquisition(s) thread!

Oh, I know those ones now! I have the MSEP & Space Mountain ones.

Wish I could get em all somewhere... LoL!

Wow, I just found this framed set on Ebay:

It doesn't show them all clearly but it lists them all out. Quite a few! I want VIDEOPOLIS!!

I love it when the ebay sellers don't even know what they are selling. Uggggg!
They said 50 pins, for the Magical Milestones pins. One pins for each year, 1955 through and including 2005, THAT actually totals 51 pins. The framed set does look nice. And if that's a pin at the center bottom, then it's really 52 pins.

DL, later, did do some before and after pins, like the Pinnochio/FL Theater pin pictured above. I'm not sure how many were in that series, but they did do a Country Bears/Pooh pin, and a Swiss Family/Tarzan Tree pin too. I'm sure Diz Pins would have that info somewhere.

Found a few pages at DIZPINS dot Com that show details pictures of all these pins

At the bottom of this page, are pictures of the pins in the Pinnochio/FL Theater series. Looks like they designed 6 pins in this series (with a bonus 7th ticket book pin) but the Country Bears/Pooh pin was not made.

Here's the link for Magical Milestone Pins 1955 to 1979


Here's the lind for Magical Milestone Pins 1980 to 2005

And in the framed set, that is a Jumbo pin at the center bottom, so the set does include 52 pins. (the framed set doesn't include the Pinnochio/FL Theater set)

Thanks so much for those links! Wow, some of those are pretty ugly! And some of them are just amazing. I really want the Videopolis, Walt Disney Story, and a few others.

You know I never thought I'd want to get into collecting pins. To expensive to get into. Then I started hanging around MiceChat. I thought the pirate Mickey Mouse ears pin was cute. So I got it. Then I got a dream lanyard with a couple of pins on it. Then the next thing you know....

I'm doing crazy things like buying this on eBay.

So this is how it begins huh??

[Melonballer]

That is how it begins. You get one penguin. Then you think he is lonely, so you get second. Then all of a sudden there are dozens of the little buggers, waddling around, doing bad James Bond impressions.

I need your help pin people. We had to get a new fridge and while clearing the top of our old fridge I found two identical pins. It is a light up pin of the pink elephant from ELP. I have absolutely no clue why I have 2 of them or where I got them. I can't find them on Disney pins site or on ebay. Can anyone tell me anything about them? I will try to post a picture later tonight but my camera does not do close up very well.

I'd love those! But I sure as hell don't want to pay $1,000+!

Yeah!!! You figured it out. Why I have 2 of them I will never know since I do not collect pins.

[tinkermonkey]

Somehow I knew that if either Mr or Mrs YoYoLand came in here, we'd get the mystery solved!

That is a very cute pin - but the mystery now is WHY do you have two of them?

I hope they can answer that one and while they are on a roll, why were they on top of the fridge still in plastic?

wow! i hope if i do some cleaning the pin fairy leaves me some mystery pins! its definately incentive. i fought the pin urge for years. it was this last december that a disneyland hotel got me into it. he gave me the tink pins then wanted to trade but i didnt want to cause i wanted them so he gave me 2 more so id trade with him. then he hunted down anther cast member for me to trade the other one with. since he could only trade one. ive been an addict ever since. i dunno if its a blessing or a curse really. but its fun till its time to pay.

Donald caroling from the Disney Store Set a few Christmas' ago (also off ebay)




Donald TOpiary (from ebay)




Donald WDCC from ebay:




And the 2008 WDCC from when I caved and became a member in Aprile:




And 2 sedesma Scrooge pins I got at a local comic shop (couldn't pass them up...they're Scrooge!)





I have others to post as I update my list...
