In the beginning, we both enjoyed our individual collections of Disney books & magazines, monorail stuff, Kitchen Kabaret items, and posters/artwork used in the parks. You know... stuff that was slightly difficult to find. We also bought an occasional pin to commemorate celebrations that we attended each year... like Flower and Garden, Mickey's Not-So-Scary, Christmas, etc.
Over the next few years, we started making several trips a year. We started buying a few pins per trip because they were "good souvenirs" that were "fairly cheap" and "don't take up much room." (Yeah. Right.) More years, more trips, more pins. I'm not going to bore you with the details of our venture off the deep end of pin collecting, but now we make several weekend trips a year in addition to a big trip every September and each time we come back with several handfuls of new pins. That's in addition to the bulk pin lots that Jerry gets for us to trade with castmembers.
We've filled up a large bulletin board and just bought a eight 12x12" cork tiles to display what we have, but how the heck are we supposed to get all of these into a database so that we know what we already have? Suggestions?
This isn't even close to all of them:
