I agree it is so hard to choose just one pin! I am sharing the Pandora Shaman of Song because my mom and I each bought one to commemorate the day that we were able to use Fast Passes (those were so great!) to ride Flight of Passage 9 (yes, nine!) times in one day. It. Was. Awesome! It was also my first Passholder exclusive pin, because I became a WDW passholder for the first time on that trip! Good times.

I'll take spot #12.

OMG I miss fast passes! I don't miss running all over the park to get them, but free and multiple passes for the same ride was great! Thanks for playing!

This is one of my favorite pins. Sorry for the link, but I have issues getting photos posted on here. I might try later.

I love it because even though I know i can't accomplish it, I wish that I could.

I would love to have #14 please.

How cute! I bet you are the bestist already! Thanks for playing!

This was the last pin I needed to be trader sam’s complete and I looked for it FOREVER! When I finally found it I was so excited that I took it out “on a date!” I have a photo of me sharing a milkshake with it somewhere! I’ll see if I can find it, but in the meantime I’m sharing the pin and pop photo since I am traveling but I am the one who added the photo to the site

ETA: #6

And thank you for running the game!

Thank you for hosting this game, and good luck on your first one!

Here is my pin:

This isn't my favorite pin, but it does bring me joy. (Well, the 20-ish ones that I own do, I guess!) I find it hilarious that there is a Disney pin that is literally just...sunglasses. And released from one of the exclusive, "fancy" sources of pins. If you didn't look at the back or know its origin you would have NO IDEA that it was in any way related to Disney, but here we are! And as far as I am aware, I am literally the only pin collector who actually wants these guys.

The real joy comes from those in the pin community who have embraced me having this collection as much as I have in having it. Multiple DPF'ers, and some non-DPF friends as well, have traded or zapped this to me (some multiple times!) for my collection, which has been an immense help to get me as far as I have!


ETA: I would like spot 19, please.

I have so many questions. Is this a series? Are they all just plain sunglasses? I would love to see your collection of sunglasses pins. This is so random and fun! Thank you for playing!

From my favorite attraction and one of my favorite characters I collect. What I love about this Constance pin is that it’s actually a slider, and the slider actually moves her husbands’ heads out of frame, so that they’re decapitated, just like in the attic scene. I couldn’t believe Disney made a pin like this since it’s quite macabre, even for Haunted Mansion, and I had to have it. This is my favorite pin I own.

I’d like spot #11 please.

How very cool! And yes, a little dark for Disney! I love it! Thanks for playing

My favorite pin is Fire Chief Stitch in his Chief's car. My wife gave the pin to me for my birthday years ago. The center piece of my firefighter pin board.
I'll take #18: please.

OMG those are ALL so cute! How fun! Maybe I should start looking for teacher pins (or maybe not - I have too many collections already). Thanks for playing!

There’s so many pins I like, it’s hard to choose just one! I think I’m going to have to go with the Leia Commemorative Stamp though. I’ve been obsessed with Leia since the first time I saw Star Wars, and this was the pin that really got me into more serious pin trading (a blessing and a curse, I think, I love my collection and I love interacting with the community but I spend wayyyy too much money on pins now). I have something of a Leia collection now, but this one’s still my favorite. I’m not sure I got anything else done the day it came in the mail, I was too busy staring at it and trying to decide how best to display it. It’s now in a Michael’s hockey puck display case on my desk (though it has to face away from where I sit or I get distracted by it all the time!).

I’ll take spot 13, if it’s still available!

You are #13! That pin is on my ISO list and it looks absolutely gorgeous in this close up photo! I have the same feeling towards the sleeping Lady prize pin. Searching for that pin was the beginning of my real collecting (which I also spend WAAAAY too much money on!). But it brings me joy and I could do worse things with my money.

Thank you for including me! I'll be back to post my pin, since I'm a newbie!

Since you are a newbie, I'll enter you with just a brief description of how collecting pins brings you joy. If I remember correctly, you collect sports pins. I will also accept a sports pin!

This is one of my favorite pins. It brings me joy because I love the movie Mulan, and the pin shows the dichotomy that takes place involving the main character: the conflict between wanting to be a warrior and fight for her country, and her life at home, where she tries to adhere to the traditions and values of her family and home. It really is a beautiful pin, and I love the fact that it's part of my collection. I'll take slot #1 please.

That is a beautiful pin in the photo. I bet it is gorgeous in real life!

This pin was a Christmas gift from Sabrina; many of you will remember her as TeddyRuxpin here on the Forum. This pin is from her personal collection and was part of the last boxes I received from her before she passed. I miss her a lot and get a little reminder she’s looking down on everyone whenever a new Disney Afternoon pin pops up.. guess what! She’s had a STRONG influence this year with all of the amazing merch coming out. I’ve got a lot of great memories of my friend and this Grammi Gummi is one of the best. It’s the first WDI pin I ever received and from a show we both loved!! I will never part with this. EVER.

My first thought before I read your post was "Sabrina would love that pin." I have an Eeyore mug from her and
even though it's sad, it makes me happy to think of her and remember her. I miss her.

If this game were a contest of the pin that made people cry, you would win. This was a very sweet story. Thank you so much for sharing!

Also, what number would you like, @dznycrzyfmly ?

That’s awesome - she was so sweet! I absolutely loved getting to know her. Thanks for sharing a great memory.

It was a one-off set from a release at DSSH for the Artemis Fowl movie. So not even a series, just this one line li’l pair of sunnies.

This is slightly outdated (the bottom row is filled in now), and I have a few more coming from Happy Haunts, but this gives you a general idea.

Since the day my daughter was born we have always called her Bear. That morphed into Googly Bear during her Monsters Inc phase, so finding out there was a Googly Bear pin while randomly scrolling Pin and Pop was astounding. Took me over a year to be able to get a hold of one, so that means all the more to me.

(And, I can't do my son dirty so my second, equally favorite pin is this newly acquired Max Adorbs pin right next to Googly Bear. He's a baby so his teeth are the exact same and we call him Mac, yet everyone hears Max!)

Absolutely love your story!! I always wondered why the Goggly Bear was considered a grail pin on your PinandPop account. So flipping cute!
