There's acid in my Saliva, Does this mean I shouldn't lick my pins anymore before I put them in my trade books?

I don't think you can say with certainty when or if any of the above will cause damage, because there are too many variables...climate, how you store them, air circulation, just dumb luck, etc. etc.

FML im planning on being dead before my pins go in the crapper.

i touch "play" with my pins all the time. I bite them, lick them, wash them with acid...the dog sits on them (ok that ones true) sometimes i use them as darts. HEY WHO WANTS TO TRADE?! LMAO

The very act of observing pins can alter the them.

Ah, yes, the Heisenberg uncertainty "pin"ciple...

Everyone send me your pins and I will keep them in an acid-free environment for you...

I won't mention any names but I know a trader whose cat peed on one of his favourite collections, and I think he used washing up liquid to clean them and if they survived that I'm sure some non acid-free backers will be fine!

I have some pins that are on its card for 9 years now, bought myself in Paris, and they are perfectly fine (?)

The ones that are not fine, are the ones on my Lion King lanyard.
Was always in storage, and all pins are now very badly bend

Definately gives me a reason to get all my pins out and go through them, I dont get them out often enough!
