Greetings from Oregon!
Hi guys! I'm Andrea and I live in Oregon, which roughly translates to I have no good traders 
I started collecting the first time I went to WDW in 2007, and though I've only been back twice since then, my collection has grown. I made the mistake of buying a lot of traders on ebay and taking them with us. We traded them, put the new ones in our books, and forgot about them until I started getting into online trading. I started hearing about scrappers and fakes, so I went through every pin in our collection and compared them to pinpics. Over half of our collection was scrappers :-( I've been slowly rebuilding our collection, and though I allowed my daughter to keep whatever scrappers she wanted, once she doesn't like them anymore, they don't go back into our traders. My pinpics ID is the same, but it's horribly out of date (all of our scrappers were on there as traders before I knew any better). I collect Stitch and Tod mostly, but a few other things that strike my fancy as well. My daughter is *currently* really into Mulan and Emporer's New Groove, but who knows how long that will last! I'm also collecting Ariel, Nightmare Before Christmas, silhouettes, Maleficent, Evil Queen, classic characters, and old hags for my siblings for Christmas. I made them all custom lanyards for their favorite characters and am trading to fill them up. Good thing I started early, it seems like if you don't have any PTD, DSF, LE, BT, WIR, or MU no one wants to trade! I'm excited to be here and see what kinds of trades (and new friends!) I'll be able to make

I live far from the parks too; so DPF definitely helps me build my collection on the ever tempting sale board! ;D
