Old collector, new poster here
Im originally from Pasadena, so i grew up at the park, but moved to Fresno in 2000. Hubby and I collected in the 80s and early 90s, then stopped when he went back to school in '93. But now we're back--a bit.
Most of our old pins were from the park, the store, and the trading shows in Anaheim. There weren't so many counterfeits back then, I think. Now I'm trying to limit what I collect, preferring to finish out sets. And I like Club 33 stuff (not just pins),) having been there a few times. I've some pins bought by me or a person whom I know is a member.
Hubby and I plan to be at the Disneyana show next month--maybe I'll meet some of you there?
