Do you bring all your pins?

[MickeyTD]

Leaving Sunday and can't decide if I want to bring all my pins. I don't have that many. Maybe 100. I don't have any intention to trade these pins, but I think it might be cool to have them with me to put alongside my new pins. Thoughts? What is your approach?

I plan to bring all mine simply because I can't remember them all and if I accidently get a duplicate I know I can safely trade it.

I take photos of the pins I have and take that with me, rather than risk losing the pins by taking them with me on the trip. Besides...if you take all of your pins with you, that means less space to bring back new pins!

Nope!! But I have Thousandssssss

I bring a batch of ones that I want to trade.. and a few backup traders just in case..

At any given time I am working on 5 or ten different sets. I find one or two (or more if I get really lucky) each trip. I bring a piece of cardboard with the sets with the missing pins, but not my completed sets. and then I make a note in my phone about which ones I need. I only bring traders into the parks so I don't risk losing ones I plan to keep (it happened before and it took me the whole trip to re-find one I had dropped somewhere). These are the ones I need to find on our next trip for example.
Dwarf boxes- need Happy
WOC sprayer- need light blue
Snowflake- jiminy/fauna/flora
Cauldron- Hook/Hag

And then of course I bring the traders and extra backs. Invariably I find another set or two or three that I love and add those to the list. And if I find a good deal on new traders (coupon on cs receipt for example or cheap purchase with purchase.) I will buy a few new traders as well.
