Pin Backs?

[tmclanton]

We went in May and my son did pin trading. We learned very quickly that the rubber backs were not holding the pins on. We then got a lot of the locking backs and did the really nice ones with those. However, for the ones he wanted to trade it was not practical and took way to long. We ended up keeping the trading pins in a bag and locking his keepers onto his lanyard. This time I want to try some different backs that may be more secure than the rubber but not as hard to use as the locking ones. I found these on ebay:

Has anyone used these or another type that you felt worked well?

TIA

I've never tried these, but I'll be excited to hear other's replies! We had the same problem a few years ago, and lost several good pins from the original rubber backs. I hope these work!

We just got back Saturday and used these! They are perfect for trading!! They are not too hard to remove, but you still need to check on them once in a while to see if they loosen up! We didn't loose any pins this year but did notice to check on them once in a while. Mind you they were around two boys necks ages 3 & 5!! I found them at our craft store, Hobby Lobby, in their jewelry department for about 2.50 for 8 of them, and they were half off that week!! Get them, they do the trick!!!
