Tomart's Disneyana Guide To Pin Trading is a completely revised & expanded fifth edition of this detailed and fascinating guide to collecting Disneyana pins. In this latest edition, more than 17,000 pins are catalogued with fully revised prices, including items from around the world. Disney pin trading is the buying and trading of collectible pins and related items featuring Disney characters, attractions, icons, and other elements. Disney pins are usually available for a limited time; limited edition pins and special pins (e.g. pins that have a dangle, pin-on-pin, flocking, lenticular, light-up, moving element, 3-D element, etc.) are more expensive. Ffor limited edition pins, a guest to Disneyland or Disney World may only purchase 2 pins per day. Additionally, some pins are only released at special events, at movie premiers, the opening day of a new attraction, to the media, are cast member exclusive, etc. These pins are harder for collectors to acquire and are often valued higher on the secondary market. After being "retired", some pins can fetch up to and over $500 on the secondary market and at venues such as eBay. Most Disney pins are enamel or enamel cloisonné with a metal base. Many thousands of unique pins have been created over the years. Every page of this top reference book is fully illustrated with pin photographs from Christopher Hall. There are also sections on pin trading Internet sites, collector events, getting started, brief history of pins & much more. Recommended for pin & brooch collectors, plus Disneyana fans everywhere.
