What's your most coveted pin?

[WebmasterJohn]

OK - it's just between you and me, no one else is around, no one can hear - tell me a secret - what's the pin you covet the most?

Which pin makes you crazy when you see it on pinpics or in someone's book?

Come on, you can tell me.....

Alright, I'll go first - the one pin that makes me crazy is the Opening Team 1971 Pin - number 5090 on pinpics.

I've seen it several times and tried to trade for it but those who have it won't easily part with it.

Now, it's your turn - confess........

 

[Eeyore1954]

I don't know if mine is on PinPics or not. I actually got it during my last trip to WDW in May. It was the newest CM pin featuring Tigger on a train car. It's part of a series of Disney characters riding on train cars. I heard it was "available" when we arrived, and I spent hours searching our CMs with pins before finally finding it.

Tigger rules!

Eeyore19554 that's one of the cast exclusive lanyard pins - very cool Pin!!!!!

Others in that set include Pooh on the Train Engine and Piglet on a trian car as well.

Rumor has it that the next set of these will include Eeyore on a train car - I bet that's one you'll want for your collection?

Mine is 2192...the CM DL Map set. My parents went to DL when I was in utero, in 1957. My mother therefore claims full responsibility for my love of Disney and has challeneged me to find a pin from that era. Well, I know this set is only a few years old, but it represents what DL looked like during that time, so I MUST HAVE IT!!

I just recently got my most coveted pin! When I was in WDW 2 weeks ago I got a Jail Scene pin! YAY! And it was a quick and painless trade when I least expected it!

Now I just need to find a new "holy grail" Matthew's newest grail is the boxed Star Wars pin from DL that they sold during the premiere of Attack of the Clones.

So John.. will you be coming to the Great Pin Adventure 2 in September? We'd love to have you there!

Webmaster John: That's a definite YES! I've been "troubled" by the lack of Eeyore pins -- poor guy seems as forgotten by the pin designers as he is by his cartoon friends.

Finding the Tigger pin was hard work. It was a mission with me -- I ignored rides, snacks, water -- even Beavertails to hunt it down. I met one other person at AK who found a 2nd CM who had that pin. I am convinced that Disney released only 2 of them in May!

Besides any new Eeyore pins, I'm on the lookout for the Tigger "Cast Member" pin. It has Tigger, the date he started with Disney (1968) and his own UPC code.

I would have normally said my Mickey for President - but now I have another special pin that I cherish.

It is the Pinhook for Peachidnet Pin. It reminds me of all the wonderful people that helped me raise all that money for the American Cancer Society. It reminds me of all the special notes and all the kind words that I received with the donations.

I love my Peachident pin.

I think my most coveted pin is the Snow White and Seven Dwarves Mining Set, because it makes both my older kids so excited when they see it. I could have bought it from a website at one point, but it wasn't cheap and I think it would be more special to trade for it.

Two other pins that are very high on our list are the Original Dress Snow White, and Belle Dreaming of a Great Wide Somewhere.

 

[Buzz2001]

This man's dream is One Man's Dream, pin 6102.

Trade anyone?

 

[NHMickey]

Mine would be the Champions Champion pin. The one that as far as I know has only been handed out 5 times.

 

[Eeyore1954]

Buzz2001 - that one is an EXCELLENT pin! If I had it, I would find it very hard to trade away. Best of luck in finding it.

 

[3kids4me]

Mario, I hope you get your pin someday.

For those of you that don't know Mario (Buzz), he is a super nice guy and I've seen him trade away wonderful pins to the people that really want them. So if anyone deserves it, he does!!

 

[eeyorefanatic]

I agree with Eeyore1954 we need more Eeyore pins! I can't wait for the train one to come out.

I know it is not hard to come by but the pin I most covet is the Mothers Day pin with Jumbo and Dumbo. I was in WDW during Mother's Day as a special treat to myself but wasn't into pins yet so missed out on the opportunity to buy one.

I sang Baby Mine to my son before having him adopted so I have always had a special place in my heart for that scene, and mothers day is always kind of hard to me.

Hopefully I will be able to add it to my collection before too long.

John - I wasn't sure if you were asking about a pin we have or want or either, so here are both of mine:

The pin I own and still drool over:

Pin 4192: Destination Disney CM Pin

The elusive pin I have to have:

Pin 59: Happy Holidays - 1999 (Mickey & Minnie Skating)
