Okay To Trade Dated Pins????

[pjfnme]

Help! We are relatively new to pin trading but, did quite a bit of it last year when we were there. My DH wanted my DD to have plenty of pins to trade with on our trip this year so, I did some research and bought a "grab bag" assortment from a reputible seller on EBAY. I was suprised when many of the pins I received were dated...i.e. the entire 2004 Olympic pin set, attraction, event and ride opening pins that have the year on them, etc. Are these type pins tradeable????? They are all stamped with the official Disney logo and meet the other trading criteria that I am aware of...none of them are personalized but, as I said, many have a specific year on them. I just want to make sure she can trade with these...if not, I am going to request a refund!

Any help would be very much appreciated!!

Thanks!!!!

The dates make them more valuable.

Oh really??? That is great then!!

Thanks so much for the information! I'm glad to know that I didn't receive bad pins!

OntFamily is right. Generally speaking, the older the pin, the more valuable it is. As long as it has the Disney backstamp on it, it's a 'legal' trader.

Enjoy your trip!
