One time when I was little I had lost my lanyard and I was crying so a sweeper came over and asked my mom what was wrong, she explained what happened, so he took us to an area and said to wait here. He left and came back later with his special collection of pins and gave them all to me. They all had those special mickeys there were also some original antique pins. I will forever be thankful for him and his kindness. He and people like him are what truly makes Disney an experience.

I did the career start program in Disney world. When I worked there, the cast members were allowed to place one pin backwards. That would be a secret hidden pin. Anybody who was curious about the pin would have to trade for it before seeing what it was. It just made it a little bit more fun, like a mystery pin.

Tips from someone who has been trading since 2003. 1) don’t buy pin lots online. You may be getting 100 pins for 25 dollars, but they’re all fake. 2) you’re allowed to say no, don’t let people pressure you to trade. 3) check for fakes at the board, lots of people don’t follow rule number 1. 4) have fun 5) I suggest if you decide to collect, choose one topic... from experience. 6) buy locking backs from amazon, you get 40 for 10 dollars, and they don’t damage your pin back or require a wrench.

A few things with the video. "Completer" pins are actually called "Chaser" pins. The more hardcore traders are actually now no longer to setup shop inside the parks. They used to give them an area in Frontierland and also in Tomorrowland but what wound up happening was that they would pay people to go inside the shops to buy up all the LE pins because they have a limit on how many you can purchase. So they wound up ruining it for everyone. Limited Edition pins will have a number on the back of how many of that pin they are limited in production to. Some might be 5,000, others 100. Pins can also be gotten in a wide variety of weird ways, not just purchased in the park. I started collecting Tron pins when I went to the premier of Tron Legacy. Fandango did a secret promotion with Disney that a random amount (I believe it is 1000) pins were sent to people who bought their tickets to the movie from Fandango. Weeks after I attended the movie, I just got this really cool pin in the mail from the movie. There was also a super rare Tron pin that was only available from a somewhat unmarked gumball vending machine in downtown disney. It was the only place you could get it, so Disney sometimes makes these pins available in very weird ways. Hence, the rarity of some of them. Lastly, if a cast member is wearing a green pin board, they will not trade with adults, only with kids 12 and under!

Disneyworld pin trading is similar but different in some of the rules you mentioned. Main confusion I had is, you only keep your own pin backs if you're trading from a pin board, if you're trading with a cast member, put your pin backs back on before handing it over to the cast member so you don't poke each other. Also, beware scrapper and fake pins. If you're trading in the parks you're bound to come home with mostly fake pins if you don't know what to look out for.
