I really enjoy collecting pins. I need to take a shot of my pin board to share it's only about halfway full at the moment. I have also enjoyed making a couple pins as well View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram
New pin grabs at from Wondercon over the weekend! Yellow team Pokemon pin is up for trades if anyone is interested
@missy really liking the yellow submarine fab 4 pin. I have collected a few myself but as is with collecting you have to be very careful not to fall in too deep. This stuff adds up, and on top of all the other crap we already collect? Very nice selection to the above ones too.
I'm completely amazed at the whole enamel pin craze. I actually thought it wasn't going to take off, boy was I wrong. There's this dude named Nick DiFabbio, aka Ghostfreehood, who is releasing a bunch of pins this Friday here in Denver. The store opens at 10 or 11 but people will be lined up for hours before. I believe they go for about 20 to 40 bucks apiece and there are flippers that turn around and sell them for hundreds of dollars. Here's some of his stuff.. The pins are releasing first thing in the morning when the store opens and there is a gallery reception later that evening. I may go down and check it out on Friday morning just to see what all the hype is about. Have any of you heard of him?
^^^Just goes to show that ANY sort of niche collector community deals with ridiculously inflated prices, which then get even crazier on the secondary market.
Received a pin with the purchase of a print, but I do not collect them so it's giveaway time. Posting in this thread was your entry. I capped it at twenty so the truest of random number generators could be used, the D20. Congratulations to ---NT---, the winner of a Comic Book Guy pin by artist Proton. PM me your info, or post here if you don't want it. In that case I'll roll again with your number equalling reroll.
This is my pin board aka cubicle wall this is my "hall of fame" of pins and patches I've made. My cat patch isn't there though
What I find remarkable is how the eye looks up in normal light, then looks down when the lights are off. Just like a turtle!
