OMG I miss fast passes! I don't miss running all over the park to get them, but free and multiple passes for the same ride was great! Thanks for playing!
 


This is one of my favorite pins. Sorry for the link, but I have issues getting photos posted on here. I might try later.

I love it because even though I know i can't accomplish it, I wish that I could.

I would love to have #14 please.
How cute! I bet you are the bestist already! Thanks for playing!
 
What a fun story! Thanks for playing while you are traveling! Happy trails
 
I have so many questions. Is this a series? Are they all just plain sunglasses? I would love to see your collection of sunglasses pins. This is so random and fun! Thank you for playing!
 
How very cool! And yes, a little dark for Disney! I love it! Thanks for playing
 
My favorite pin is Fire Chief Stitch in his Chief's car. My wife gave the pin to me for my birthday years ago. The center piece of my firefighter pin board.
I'll take #18: please.
OMG those are ALL so cute! How fun! Maybe I should start looking for teacher pins (or maybe not - I have too many collections already). Thanks for playing!
 
Only 10 spots left! Let's fill this game today!

3 players will win a free pin (shipping included). Who doesn't want a chance for a free trader?! This game costs you nothing but a little bit of your time and energy.
I have loved reading your posts! Thanks to everyone who has shared their pins thus far
 
There’s so many pins I like, it’s hard to choose just one! I think I’m going to have to go with the Leia Commemorative Stamp though. I’ve been obsessed with Leia since the first time I saw Star Wars, and this was the pin that really got me into more serious pin trading (a blessing and a curse, I think, I love my collection and I love interacting with the community but I spend wayyyy too much money on pins now). I have something of a Leia collection now, but this one’s still my favorite. I’m not sure I got anything else done the day it came in the mail, I was too busy staring at it and trying to decide how best to display it. It’s now in a Michael’s hockey puck display case on my desk (though it has to face away from where I sit or I get distracted by it all the time!).

I’ll take spot 13, if it’s still available!

 
You are #13! That pin is on my ISO list and it looks absolutely gorgeous in this close up photo! I have the same feeling towards the sleeping Lady prize pin. Searching for that pin was the beginning of my real collecting (which I also spend WAAAAY too much money on!). But it brings me joy and I could do worse things with my money.
 
This is one of my favorite pins. It brings me joy because I love the movie Mulan, and the pin shows the dichotomy that takes place involving the main character: the conflict between wanting to be a warrior and fight for her country, and her life at home, where she tries to adhere to the traditions and values of her family and home. It really is a beautiful pin, and I love the fact that it's part of my collection. I'll take slot #1 please.

That is a beautiful pin in the photo. I bet it is gorgeous in real life!
 


This pin was a Christmas gift from Sabrina; many of you will remember her as TeddyRuxpin here on the Forum. This pin is from her personal collection and was part of the last boxes I received from her before she passed. I miss her a lot and get a little reminder she’s looking down on everyone whenever a new Disney Afternoon pin pops up.. guess what! She’s had a STRONG influence this year with all of the amazing merch coming out. I’ve got a lot of great memories of my friend and this Grammi Gummi is one of the best. It’s the first WDI pin I ever received and from a show we both loved!! I will never part with this. EVER.

My first thought before I read your post was "Sabrina would love that pin." I have an Eeyore mug from her and
even though it's sad, it makes me happy to think of her and remember her. I miss her.
 
If this game were a contest of the pin that made people cry, you would win. This was a very sweet story. Thank you so much for sharing!

Also, what number would you like, @dznycrzyfmly ?

Oh snap, I forgot.. #8 please if it’s available still. Thanks @Pidge I think you’d enjoy talking to Sabrina! She had amazing collections.

That’s awesome - she was so sweet! I absolutely loved getting to know her. Thanks for sharing a great memory.

It was a one-off set from a release at DSSH for the Artemis Fowl movie. So not even a series, just this one line li’l pair of sunnies.

This is slightly outdated (the bottom row is filled in now), and I have a few more coming from Happy Haunts, but this gives you a general idea.

 
Since the day my daughter was born we have always called her Bear. That morphed into Googly Bear during her Monsters Inc phase, so finding out there was a Googly Bear pin while randomly scrolling Pin and Pop was astounding. Took me over a year to be able to get a hold of one, so that means all the more to me.

(And, I can't do my son dirty so my second, equally favorite pin is this newly acquired Max Adorbs pin right next to Googly Bear. He's a baby so his teeth are the exact same and we call him Mac, yet everyone hears Max!)

Absolutely love your story!! I always wondered why the Goggly Bear was considered a grail pin on your PinandPop account. So flipping cute!
 
How very fun! I will now be on the lookout for these to help build your collection.
 
What a perfect pin for your Googly Bear! Would you like a number for the game? Numbers 2, 5, 9, 10, 15, 16, and 17 are still available.
 
This is a super-cool game and reminds me so much of the neat stuff that used to happen here years ago. Absolutely loved reading everyone's stories about the pins. This is the great thing about pin trading . . . each one becomes a little memory to bring a smile.

So, I'm going to share a pin that was in my collection and is back! While it's not necessarily my idea of the perfect pin design, it's one of my favorite pin memories! It's PP#144641:


This pin was designed for a Disney Springs scavenger hunt in 2017, but the event was cancelled. The pins were later released onto CM lanyards, and we got one in January 2020. We were there with our Mom, aunt and cousin -- having one of the most memorable trips and enjoying the Christmas Tree Stroll. The sun was setting, and we were sitting on the little brick "wall/railing" outside Once Upon a Toy at Disney Springs. A CM walked by, and my aunt started slapping me on the leg saying "big pin, big pin". I went up and asked to trade (and traded another big pin) for Stitch. We spent a couple weeks trying to find out what it was, because the CM didn't know. There was absolutely nothing online about the pin at the time, because they were just showing up on the pin sites and groups. At the time, there was a great member here who had a young daughter collecting Stitch. We ended up trading, because she was so excited about this pin. Stitch got a nice spot in her collection, and I got the Disney Scents Dole Whip pin. It's been a story that I always love thinking about when looking at the Dole Whip pin, so I just recently traded for Stitch. Now, they are in the collection together as a great memory of a fun trading experience with friends.

I'll take spot #16, if it's still available.

Thanks for a fun game with lots of great stories!
