Pin backing

[matthew_hull]

Is there a way to purchase a better pin backing than the little rubber mickey mouse head ones? I was at the Pin Traders store in DTD and bought some "locking pin backings" which come with a tiny allen wrench, but those backings are very impractical out in the field. I was hoping for something in-between -- more secure than the rubber backings but less inconvenient for trading than the locking backings which require a tiny allen wrench.

Any ideas?

There are other rubber pin backs that hold much better than the Mickey ones. If you are interested pm me and I would be happy to send you a few just to see if they would work for you.

Are these available at WDW? If so, do you know where? I bought extras (of the rubber MM heads) last trip. I actually lost one pin on my lanyard at WDW using them though so they do not secure well. Thanks!

If you look on this list you will see ones that are No-Key they are like the Mens TieTac backs and work really well. I use to use them on my Motorcycle jackets .

They are carried at many motorcycle shows and shops as well.

I used those on my last trip and they worked great! Never lost a single pin!!! Whenever I traded, I just made a comment to the cm that I was keeping my pin back since it was a special pin back. Worked wonderful!!!
