As I have (and many here) learned in this "Pieces of Disney Magic Metal" Collection Hobby of the last decade + (
)...."Patience is a Virtue."
These two pins, are again, solid proof of that Fact.
Story:
The first pin, is a FP. I first saw it in a traders book one day while at the DLR picnic table area. After learning the trader valued it at a whooping $100 (and I do not trade authentic Disney pins for FP's; plus I thought the value was to high) I declined the trade.
So I knew, if I was meant to have it, it would happen.
Three years later and with the help of our wonderful @speedwaystar1 (you Rock my friend) because the seller was in Jolly Ole England, I was able to purchase it. And it's now in my hands.
2nd Pin:
This I had to have as well. But since it's a WDI pin, well....you all know that story. Anyway, after an attempted to trade with a a couple of sellers at a kraken event, and they're not following through, I decided to reach out to a new pin trader/seller I had met in all places, at the local PetSmart here in Downey.
I was shopping and walked by the kitten/adoption cages and saw this woman with some beautiful BatB tat's on her arm. I stopped to give her a compliment. We got to talking and I found out she was a Disney Pin Enthusiast as well.
So, we started following each other on IG. I reached out to her and asked if she knew of anybody that had the WDI MP Globe Pin. She put me in contact with a friend of hers that had it. A week later, part trade, part cash, an well worth it, the globe pin is now in my collection. And yes, I Love it.
I took the time to share this story, because, A) it's a reminder to me, of how wonderful our members are here. And, B) the Love for Disney, and just being friendly and kind to a stranger can Truly be a win-win, in more ways then one. Kindness Matters.
Thank you for allowing me to share this story with you all. Because no one understands better then like-minded friends.
