Those of you that have pinpic ids....be sure to update them, so your sender will have up to date info

Also, FYI, the next Disney pin exchange will be in July, probably the middle. I will try to have an exact date soon.

 

[DJT]

I've been patiently waiting. Just signed up.

 

[Nutsy]

I'm thinking about it.

 

[dzee]

I'm In!!! Just Love PINS!!!! What are considered non tradable pins?

 

[DJT]

I'm thinking about it.

Aw, come on, Nutsy. You'll have fun!

 

[Pooh67_68]

Pin time, and you might just get one or more of these.

For a pin to be tradeable it needs the Disney logo on the front or back.
Just a personal recommendation would not be send someone a Sedesma pin. A random example of those pins is Pinpics pin # 1898: Sedesma - Baby Mickey Mouse.
They look like a small, thin, painted version of a Disney pin. They are cheap. And once you see them, you know why.
Not to say I don't have some in my collection. But it would have to be a character I really like. And I would say that most likely Sedesma pins are pins most people would not desire to own, unless it specifically meant something to them.

 

[dzee]

Thanks for the info. I had never heard of those pins. Now I know what to stay away from!

 

[Nutsy]

Aw, come on, Nutsy. You'll have fun!

Still thinking Donna.. My prob is that I don't like parting with any of my pins They are all too cute

But will have a look at them and see if I can find two that I will part with and if so will sign up.

 

[Meriweather]

Nutsy...come on....didn't I just send you some traders so you could play??
Guess you liked them too much

Somewhere there was a link to a list of things to watch out for on pins and the ones considered nontradeable. I'm not on my computer, so I don't have it.
I have a propin or 2 in my collection too....Merryweather of course, but the quality is definitely inferior.

Propins was a German based company who actually made a lot better quality pins than the Spain Sedesma pins. Now what does that tell you?
Back in early this decade a 9-pin Propin set cost around $18. Again, you get what you pay for.
I know I have some in my collection. Someone getting them just has to realize that's what they got, a cheap pin they admire.
Propins did not renew their Disney license years ago. So once they stopped producing them, Propins were a little more desirable. Collectors knew what was out there was it. And Propins did have have a tendency to produce the lesser used artwork/characters.

 

[Pooh67_68]

You also want to stay away from the bootleg pins, like this one.

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]
