Your pin collecting preferences -- with card back? without? Does it matter?
I'm planning a trip to WDW in May, and I've just gotten into pin collecting. Since I recently learned that there are San Francisco-specific pins at the SF DS, I thought it would be fun to buy a bunch and use them as traders when I go to Florida.
I was originally just planning to put them on a lanyard and go from there -- sort of liked the idea of spreading the cheer and leaving my fellow traders with a special SF item -- but I've started to notice how many pictures on these forums include the original packaging.
Do you find the original packaging of your pin important? Is this just a personal preference, sort of insurance that the pin was bought at Disney and is therefore legitimate? Would you be suspicious if I had a bunch of the same pin on my lanyard. Would you be less suspicious if I carried around a copy of the DS receipt detailing my purchase?
Phew! My intent is to have something cool to share when I get to WDW, but I want to make sure that traders actually think it's cool too! Thanks for your thoughts.
