PIN & POP PIN & POP Site Announcements & Ideas

IMG_3819.jpeg

For fun, this is phase 1 of my card / SKU project. The box and the stack in front is completed, identified, in my personal inventory “does it have a backer card” updated. As well as SKUs entered and verified in Pin & Pop. I went through over 2 packs of 500 Post-It Page Markers. So it’s about 1100 cards.

The little stack in the back are cards that I acquired somehow without owning the pin.

The tray are cards for pins not in Pin & Pop yet.

The small stack in front of the tray are cards I could not identify via P&P, MPC or PinPics. I think I can probably figure out some of them on a second pass because they should go with a specific series. For those I can use Worthpoint or EBay photos to match them up.

I have a shoebox full of Disney Store Series cards. Which shouldn’t be too hard outside of updating my personal inventory fields.

Phase 2 will take a lot longer. All the pins still on original cards and in various temporary storage and not permanent homes (bags, frames).

What do you do with wacky shapes like this?

The last week or so, I have been working through identifying my baseball card box full of backer cards. This is due to Pinpics saying they're removing SKUs in September *sigh*. This means I've been doing *a lot* of searching, editing and fixing errors. It would be nice if the Series Table View page included the SKU in the empty space next to the Title (Price too) and I'm not sure Series Name is needed next to each pin in the Series View since it already listed twice on the page. Also, if the Rarity also displayed the Edition Size beneath the designation. I'm trying to work through hundreds of cards, and each extra click, and necessary scrolling adds up. Being able to view this information in Series View would make it so much faster to figure out which pins are missing SKUs, have wrong SKUs, have partial SKUs and same for LE size. You can tell when people have used the "Add Similar" button and apparently thought all the Series had the same LE but they actually don't. Anyway, it would be so much easier to identify and fix whole Series at one time vs having to click through to each individual listing to verify info.

@hopemax you can now customize what columns you want to see in the table view (i.e., SKU and Edition) and it will persist to all pin table views. Let me know if that works for you.

Nice! I know someone (I think it was @Randakinskywalker ) had requested a way to mark if a pin has a backer card and, if so, mark the basic shape of the card. ... the first would be easier to do 🙂
 
So for an example of how great this is working (unless you’re a Mod, maybe 🤣 ) I just went through the Countdown to the Millennium Disney Store set. Expected it to be straightforward, these are old well documented pins. Still had to make like 5 Reports with typos or outright wrong SKUs. Not sure I would have caught all of them, if it wasn’t for the new Table View.

Can you not edit listings anymore?
 
On the bottom of the profile page at the "where I trade", etc or someplace else a link to a users DPF user name.

That might make pre-emptive strikes for trades a little easier as they can be done via DM

You can put your DPF user name under “where I trade”

Would be great as a VIP to see the count of how many times your pin was added to a wishlist in the time between table setup and event start.

Would help prioritize certain pins or sets on a table and get an idea on whether you should replace other less popular pins that may not get any traffic.

I always worry about watch listing a grail that is specific and unique to my taste, but then the trader updates their table and removes it under an assumption it won't trade well. I promise I love your 19 year old Hong Kong Disneyland Earth Day pin!

I've mailed off single pins for second chance pins, put then in an envelope w/ first class postage- one of them arrived but it was an open envelope with nothing inside and then the 2nd one hasn't shown up yet, so am guessing something else with the USPS as I am not paying for tracking for one pin due to the strict 2 week rule that PnP has in place for sending pins in.

Just an FYI on this, if you're talking about regular letter envelopes and not bubble mailers, this isn't an issue with the USPS. It's the selected postage and mailing method that's the issue. Regular letter envelopes will almost always be sent through the automated letter sorters by default. The letter sorters will eat up and tear apart letters that have big bumps in them, as they're made for flat shapes, not unusual ones. Letters are wound around wheels on a belt at a high speed, and you would have to pay a non-machinable fee to avoid it being fed into the automated sorters, and even then it's still likely to rip open just because of how flimsy regular envelopes are. There's a reason bubble mailers are the shipping standard in the community. I'd caution against regular envelopes as you'll probably continue to lose pins, which will likely be more costly than just paying for package shipping.
 
"so am guessing something else with the USPS "

that's what I meant, but chose not to do the long drawn out explanation. With one of the package something did happen, but thankfully Jenn was kind enough to make up for the loss.

Yes haha, that was me. If we did the basic shape of the cards, I'd assume it would only be for the standard re-used backer cards, and the Custom Card would just be the one option, not one for every Custom Card. I need to go on a mission to record all the cards that have been mass-used over the years.

On that note Chris, I don't trade much in person but have started using the Trade Log to log my P&P trades since I've had friends ask if I've had any experience with certain traders (and I like to keep track of how things go and how many successful trades I've made with them) and I've got a few notes for things I'd be interested in seeing. I really like it though, I think it's a valuable tool to the community.

— Major thing I'd like to see is an Import button for Pin and Pop trades. One that autofills the Date from the Your Trade page or Trade ID (maybe with the day the trade was approved), the Username, the Platform, the Pin IDs, and the Dates the trades were marked as shipped for people who like to keep track of that. It would be much easier. Or even a "Copy Pin ID" in the corner of the pin images so we don't have to click on every page to get the ID.
— Personal preference, but I'd like to see maybe a greyed out image of the pin we traded out. Maybe the images could be moved to the bottom right corner since there's so much space, for better visibility.
— I'd love our description notes to be seen from the main page instead of having to click them.
— Maybe a checkbox for "Successful Trade"? Not only for canceled trades, but also for also for online trades where maybe someone didn't send their pins, sent a major flaw without disclosing it, sent fakes, or just was overall unpleasant to work with. It would be nice to be able to see at a glance the private stats of our experience with certain traders.
— Or our own five star rating
— Personal want probably nobody else wants, but I'd love a little subtitle under the name so we can maybe write something that helps us remember them lol. "7 feet tall, wears glasses." These are private so nobody needs to know that I'm bad at remembering people. 😂

Like I said though, I do love this.
