Hello collectors,

Some of you might have seen my post regarding understanding a collection that was left to me by my parents. I have no idea about this marketplace and have ~5,000 pins to try and evaluate. Here is a small sampling of what I have, but is also very indicative of the types of pins in the collection. Any information regarding the value or the quality of the collection would be appreciated. To reiterate, this is an EXTREMELY SMALL sampling of what we have.










 
What a great collection! So many cute and wonderful pins that I am sure people would be interested in.

It looks like thy generally collected the pins that were readily available in the parks. As such, they are pretty common pins and don't hold a ton of value. Just giving a quick look at your posts so far, the pins are each (very) roughly $15-25 in value. You do have some that bump above that such as the Cats and Cinderella boxes in this thread which have sold between $50-100 in their most recent sales.

I did notice that these were largely from the earliest days of pin collecting. While it would be reasonable to think the older the more valuable, that's often not the case. Folks like the hot new thing plus the quality/size of pins, limited quantities, supply/demand (most people that wanted the old ones have gotten them by now) and other factors make a lot of newer ones worth more than older ones. If you are up for sending some more pictures, maybe send some of the more recent pins if you can determine that? Also if you have anywhere the backing cards say Disney Auctions (or Walt Disney Imagineers, or Disney Soda Fountain, etc.) rather than a park, those may also be in a different league.

Regardless, again, there's a lot of really nice and fun pins there. They bring back a lot of memories for me personally so thank you for posting them.

I look through the five pages, you have a lot of great pins. You may want to use Worthpoint. It is an app that will look up the pin and figure out how much it sold for on various sites beyond what they allow you to search. The Boxed Disney cats is currently in the auction site, for between $107-$150. It last sold in December for $39.
 
Hi
I’m so sorry to hear about your parents.

You have such a wide variety of great pins. I’ve been collecting since 2000 and many of these pins bring back some great memories


I sent you a PM regarding a few of them.
Thanks,
Crystal

Thank you for showing us some of the pins.

I too enjoyed viewing these. I recognized a number of them myself. I'm in agreement with @Ajk, about their worth these days.

But you do have some that are worth a little more.

I'm going to send you a pm on a few I see I'm interested in.

I agree with this. Some good observations.
