Holy Grail....Rusty Nail

[Eeyore's Pal]

We haven't done something like this in a long time. I don't know why no one's mentioned it.

So it's definitely time to list your current . . .

<b> Holy Grail!

<i> Limit of two, please.</i> </b>

And for a new twist, how about listing your . . .
<b> Rusty Nail!

<i> Limit of two, please.</i> </b>

So you're thinking . . . <i>What the heck is a <b>"Rusty Nail?"</b> </i>

Well, you know, that pin in the back of your traders bag that you just <i>wish</i> someone wanted. Not necessarily a <i>bad</i> pin, just one that hasn't yet found it's true home.

(OK, I made this term up, but it does rhyme so nicely, doesn't it? And it seemd to convey the concept, right? )

So haul out those bags, books, and lists, and let's see if we can't make a couple of <i>dreams come true!</i>

Here are my answers:

<b>Holy Grail:</b>
1. Pin 121: WDW Official Pin Trading Pin ( WDW PTP )
2. Pin 2664: Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

<b>Rusty Nail:</b>
1. Pin 4651: First Robotics Competition 2001: 10th Anniversary
2. Pin 6279: Stromboli Puppet

HG: pp#432 DL PTP & Tinkerbell replacement pin from WDW

Karinmac -- I didn't know there was a Cinco de Mayo Donald! So I had to put him on my wants list!

Holy Grails: Numerous, but what comes to mind are --
DLR CM HM Hitchhiking Ghosts
Pin 1259: WDCC - Pirate of the Caribbean Parrot Dangle
(yeah -- like I'll ever own either )

Rusty Nails:
Pin 6965: Ludwig Von Drake 40th Anniversary (Which taught never buying a $15 pin as a trader just because I REALLY like it. )
Pin 8990: Beauty and the Beast Special Release (Cogsworth) -- Another VERY NEAT pin IMHO.

Maybe it's just MY taste that's odd! After all I like both of Karinmac's Rusty Nails, and even have one already ! Great coloring and detail on the Cigar Store Indian.

Pin 310: WDW 'Plane Crazy - 1928
Pin 2164: Disneyland Princess Dangle, Snow White & Prince

Rusty Nail

at one time, I was going to collect the INDY pins, but changed my mine......and this one won't leave me!

Pin 5543: Walt Disney's 60th Anniversary The Reluctant Dragon
This came with a lot of pins I won on Ebay.....everyone is reluctant to trade for it.......(I know.....groooaaaaaaaaannnnnn) But seriously, you want it? Any pin on my wants will do!
