Hello from Diana - Tiggernut/Dream499
I am Diana Delker, also widely known my many as Dream499 on Ebay. I have collected Disney pins since the 1980s, and started with the emergence of pin trading in the year 2000.
I am first and foremost a Tigger collector. Since I have most regular stuff out there, my pursuit has focused on Tigger Prototypes, Artist Proofs and random errors. Believe it or not, I have over 6000 individual Tigger pins in my collection and have every Tigger listed on Pinpics with exception of ONE pin (many of the Tigger listings are mine!)
That being said, my second affinity is for old, vintage Disney stuff. I love anything pre-official Disney pin trading, as I find that era as better quality (there has NEVER been a scrapper of real cloisonne) and far more limited than current offerings. I earned the nickname "Pin Historian" for this love and fun (useless) knowledge. My curse is knowing silly pin info.
My love of the hobby has blossomed into a fun Disney business on Ebay. Something I started when in law school, and I kept due to the fact it brings me joy. I truly believe if you love what you do, the money follows. I do the Ebay part-time and have a law practice for my remaining hours. However, that being said -I have always stated when the Disney business ceases to be fun; or a burden -I will go back to full-time in law.
I love trading and meeting people. I am sucker for people hunting for their own personal collections -as I almost always make a trade happen.
Well, that is a bit about me. I do from time to time post..but I do have a pretty busy schedule, and prefer fitting in Disney trips, church, and time with friends more than posting online.

PS: And...yes, you will find me around more when the tyrants of Pinpics show their evil heads.
