Hidden Mickey Completer Pins

[DisneyRay]

Hi all, not sure this is the correct place to post this but didn't see anything more appropriate. I am looking for a complete list of all the Disneyland and Disney World hidden Mickey pins by year. I can find one offs but no complete list. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks but unfortunately all of those sites don't include the completer pins.

so, until a few years ago, completer pins were sold separately the year after the original hidden Mickey release, typically in packs for $1-3 as a purchase with purchase. During COVID, Disney started selling the completer pins in the same packs they sell Hidden Mickey pins for the year.

that’s why none of the lists pre-2019 will have the completer pins listed in the same flyer as the hidden Mickey release.

That is really interesting, thanks for the info. By any chance do you know when year they started doing the completers and if they have done them every year since?

I started collecting hidden mickey pins in 2008/2009 at Disneyland.
I believe for the ones at DLR, they started with the 2010 series. Surprisingly, the completers came out in the latter part of the year, but that was also back when DLR released a new hidden mickey set each month, so each month one would go running around the park looking for that month's new hidden mickeys.

One good resource for pins is Pin Trading Database.

What was interesting was that some of the series of pins had two completers, like these:

https://www.pintradingdb.com/pin/8372

The train is obvious, since with the other 5 pins, it completes the Casey Jr. Train.

I stopped collecting hidden mickey pins a few years later, except for the series that I like, but I believe they have done completer pins every year thereafter.

Thank you. This is helpful information.
