Where can I buy extra pin backs?

[scubamouse]

Does anyone have a source?

My kids are collecting pins and we did really cool corkboards for them to display them. We're headed to DL in a week and of course I can't remember the super-safe place I left the pin backs.

I've checked pin finder since I buy trading pins from them and they don't have any. I also hit the World of Disney store in NYC and they're sold out. I'm sure I can get them in the parks but I'd love to have their lanyards set up before then.

Is there any place you all recommend for disney or even non disney pin backs.

TIA

eBay, I've seen them there many times. What quantity are you looking for? I've got a ton of extras because we keep ours framed or on cork.

FYI, I got pins from pinfinder, bought a lot of 50 and I had a bunch of scrappers in the lot. Peter took care of it for me but I thought I'd mention it to you just in case.

I've been happy with the Mickey Mouse head rubber pin backs from pinseller.com. You can get a bag of 50 for $4.50. They're virtually identical to the backs sold at the parks, except they don't have the Disney logo on them. But I only use them for my private pins. When I trade pins with others, I always include an official Disney pin back.

Thanks! I ordered from pinsellers. I didn't realize there were 'unofficial' mickey ear backs. Do you think that would be a problem if we're only trading with CMs? I never checked to see the authenticity of the backs, only the pins.

It won't be a problem at all. CMs and most traders don't really care about the backs. It's the pin that's important. I just feel better knowing that anyone I trade with will be receiving an official Disney pin back. It's my own personal little glitch.
