Hello Everyone! I'm new to the forum and new to collecting Pins :anxious:
I decided two days ago that I wanted to start collecting.
What made me decided this you ask?
I saw a Pixar Limited Edition Bing Bong flower on Instagram and fell in love with it!
So now I'M HERE!!! (& I'm still searching for that pin lol)
If you have any tips/advice to help me get started it'd be much appreciated!

Welcome! There is always that ONE pin that catches your attention and sucks you in! Muahaha!! :lol:

Good luck finding your Bing Bong! Before you launch a buying frenzy on eBay, I would highly encourage you to read several of the threads on DPF regarding fake pins. Sad to say there are tons of unofficial pins out there! I'm still learning how to spot them, but I haven't been tested yet. We shall see how many I catch when I get to DLR in August!

Thank you bjean and Purplemandms! McMorgan, Yes I def need to do some research! I find it hard to trust some of these pins on ebay. I actually ran into a video somehow of a lady saying if they have the "mickey waffle print" on the back that goes off the edges that they're real.. hopefully that is true because that's what I have been looking for? I have found some of the Bing Bong flower Pins on ebay for ridiculous amounts of money, I don't think I will ever be getting one of those! (even though that pin is what initial drew me in) I am also now hoping to find a Lava pin! <3
