Are these good trader pins?

[TWyn]

I'm looking to buy my daughter some pins for Christmas to trade at Disney World on our trip in February. I looked on disneyshopping.com and found some Christmas advent sets (under pin sets) for $26.95 (not sure how to post the link). Do you think these would be good pins to trade individually? I'm trying to get the most for my money and these wouldn't be a bad price with the 25% off sale right now.

Any pin bought at disneyshopping.com is 'legal' for trading(metal/cloisonne with "copyright Disney" on the back). Be aware, however, that sometimes WDW can get flooded by pins(the infamous 2000 "dancers", the Incredibles DVD-bonus, etc). Then for a while CMs will have that pin on their lanyard & are not supposed to trade for that pin since it's already on their lanyard. CMs sometimes make exceptions for youngsters though. Also, *technically*(according to CM rules), sets of pins are not supposed to be broken up for trading, but that rule doesn't seem to be enforced.

If your kids want to trade, look for CMs with the green lanyards. They will *only* trade with kids.

Happy trading ,
agnes!

They can be traded since each pin does not require the other pins (an example of the set not tradeable is 4 pins that are "2" "0" "0" and "4") You won't have the problem of them being flooded on the lanyards since the edition size is 1000.

Thank you both for your replies. I think I"ll go ahead and get a couple of sets for my daughter to trade, since it looks like they'll make good traders.
