Seems like no one is posting pics of their collections lately. :sad: How about posting some here?
I always enjoy seeing them! :wavey:
 
These are old pictures (I haven't taken any new ones lately) and I have added several new pins since these pictures. These are all my keeper pins and I have all of my traders in separate pin bags.




































 
Wow, you have a really fun collection! I love the dwarfs and it's nice to see some Mickey & Friends pins get some love. The pirate coins are very nice!
 
Security badges from Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Euro Disneyland, plus a few other random Disney park souvenir badges from over the years.

Good googily moogily, now THAT'S a collection. How long have you been collecting/trading?

I've been at it since late 1999. My collection is small compared to some of collectors out there. I have about 1500 pins right now but I know people with over 10,000 pins. I couldn't imagine having that many pins.

You know about the Van Eaton Galleries auction, right? That's a great collection you have!
 
Wow! I love seeing everyone's collections! Mine is nearly non-existent compared to everyone else's! I'm still fairly new to pin collecting, but I can tell you right now that I don't think I'll ever make it past a thousand...probably not even close to that.

Here's what I've got so far:

My very first pin. I was so excited to get it in the mail that I had to go out and buy a shadowbox to decorate for it. It's been displayed this way ever since. I'm scared to buy more Frozen pins for fear that it will somehow make this one seem less special. :sigh:



Mickey & Minnie. I have plans to move these to a larger board soon, so that I can expand my collection. I have a lovely scrapbook page waiting for the new canvas!



Stitch. I adore this little guy. I've recently decided that he is going to be my main collection. I. Need. MORE. :rofl:



Princesses. Will probably get a board for these lovely ladies, but I would like to gather a few more before I start it. For now, they're hanging out in my pin bag with a few of my loners.



These guys are loner/various pins for now.





My button collection. Various Hot Topic buttons that I've purchased or received as gifts.



And just for fun, my pandas. They're not Disney, but I love them just as much! These ones are all from Zoo Atlanta, but I will probably collect others along the way.

 
Sharayahlynn, you have some great pins! I love the button collection. Buttons are great collectibles too! The panda pins are fun!
 
It's fun to see EVERYONE's collections. They all start somewhere. Please post yours when you have a chance.
 
i just got the Disneyland Hotel Security Officer Badge. Here it is with others from the same era.

 
I haven't posted an update of my own collection because I haven't really had any updates to speak of in the last year and a bit. It comes with the territory of having a pretty narrow focus. I manage not to spend zillions of dollars on pins, but get some pretty long dry spells

Here is my main collection, which are pins having to do with 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and its author, Jules Verne, whose works also inspired attractions in Paris and Tokyo...



A closer look, at mostly Tokyo Disneysea and Disneyland Paris pins...



A WDW diorama pin...



WDW-related pins, including Trader Sam's Grog Grotto (one of my more recent acquisitions) because the bar has the Nautilus drink and some 20,000 Leagues references. The D-logo was a zap as well...



Mickey and co. as the characters from 20,000 Leagues...



These pins are all related to Disneyland Paris' Discoveryland (and PanoraMagique, because a balloon in Paris in close enough to Jules Verne to satisfy me!)...



My ocean diorama, with a nice big space in the middle for future additions (I'm trying to get my hands on a pin of Cleo the fish, and King Triton)...




This collection are my memento pins... Pins from the parks we've been to, the special events we've participated in, other attractions and locations, and various other ones with sentimental attachments. As you can see, I have a bit of a bent towards classic black-and-white Mickey. And shiny gold things...




And this one is mostly my wife's collection. She's a big Beauty and the Beast fan, so when we went to WDW for our honeymoon, I gave her the corresponding pin for each section of Belle's Village that we came across. The top three pins are my own "favourite attractions" mini-collection...




I also have a Fantasia (mini-)collection that is in limbo... I wanted to collect Fantasia pins, but they're typically so expensive on the resale market that I just can't break in.

So there ya' go!

I, too, enjoy seeing collections but feel like I'm trying to show off or brag when I share my own. Silly, huh? I'll post a picture of a collection at the bottom.

Good god, Tbird! I always feel like I'm not worthy of the hobby when I see your collection. It is amazing, beautiful and awe inspiring. :bowdown:

I have a thread for mine that I haven't updated in far too long. I need to get on that!

Ohh, the Queen of designer pin frames! Vixy, I could stare at this all day, they're so beautiful.

These are great! I always have this weird image of Disney security team members wearing white gloves, big shoes and mouse ears. :lol:


Wow, for someone claiming to be new to the hobby, you have a great start! I love your frames and lanyards and until I read otherwise, I thought the pandas were Animal Kingdom pins.

I also have a thread for mine, but it hasn't been updated in over a year, and some of my collections have changed quite a bit… I need to take new pictures soon!

Holy moly, your collection is so organized! I envy your discipline with these frames. LOL, I was gonna post a picture of my Figaros, thinking he doesn't see much love, but you have a much better collection. Nicely done.

Here's my grandma's Tsum Tsum collection

I love all of your tsums but this wall hanging especially so! Oh, I wish I had the space for something like this for my tsums. Very creative!


Beautiful collection! If you don't mind me asking, where did you find the underwater background pictures?


Okay, so here are two of my favorite frames. I'm so close to being a pin completist for both Lucifer and Si & Am, but seeing as how it's taken me ten years to get where I am, I figure it'll be quite a few more before I reach the end. Hope you enjoy them.
 
^Those are great cat collections! So many Siamese cats! I'd love to see your Figaros too! I recently started a small cat collection. It started with just Figaro but then, uhhh, it expanded. I blame it on the cat set that came out last year. I was just going to keep Figaro, but decided to keep them all!
