Pins - Avoiding Duplicates

[grantforrest]

Hi folks - this is probably a really dumb question but anyway here goes...

My main concern when going back to the parks is avoiding duplicates - it has been almost 3 years since I have been and it is not practical to take my pins with me in luggage (I'm in Scotland).

So how do you avoid buying duplicates when you are going back to the parks? Do you have a good memory or something I have missed?

I love www.pinpics.com. It lists over 83000 disney pins. I use it to keep track of my collection as well as pins I want. I'll print out a list of pins I'm looking for, usually just 1 page so it's easy to fold and carry with me.

Hope this helps.

How big is your collection? I took photos of my pins and stored them on my laptop (for reference in the hotel) and on the camera's memory card (for reference when I was at the park).

I store a photo or two of my collection on my phone. That way I can reference back to it while I'm at the parks.

I maintain a couple of personal pin groups on Pinpics. Before each trip, I go through and see what pins have been released since my last visit and then add the pictures to the Pin Group. I print the list and carry it with me. If I trade or buy the pin, I cross it out.
