What does your pin budget go to?
I'm curious how much people spend in the following categories:
1. pure traders
2. personal collection + keepers
3. pins that you would like to trade for something nicer but don't mind owning forever
4. pins for resale (exclude at-cost pickups because that's someone else's budget)
I feel like I went through a phase of buying a lot of traders (ex. 100 OEs and 2 of each LE on release day) but once I filled a couple books of traders, I stopped buying traders unless I see an exceptionally good deal. Now, most of my budget goes to my personal collection and a bit goes into category 3.
