Dave Smith Pin Collection

[ClemsonTigger]

For non pin people, I apologize for taking up the space.
For those addicts, especially those that liked the Piece of Disney series...

There is a new pin series starting in May commemorating Disney Milestones as selected by Dave Smith. From the Disney site http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/event?id=7867, there are some very nice events captured, including Carousel of Progress, Pirates and the Electrical Parade. Take a look, it looks like a very nice set.

I'm a Disney watch and clocks collector myself, but they look like a really nice set of pins!

Great...Another set of pins for $50 bucks on ebay! Just trying to get a "piece of time" pin is hard enough. Well, maybe they'll be available through disney auctions. I always miss the good stuff!

 

[Laura]

Oh these look so cool! I wish I lived in Florida so I could buy them as they came out. It's stressful having to use ebay!

 

[WDWScottieBoy]

I know I'll have to get all of those. I've got all the "piece of times" ones and I live in IL. Now, to get the rest of those and now this set....hmm....

All this 50th Birthday stuff is gonna send me to the poor house! Disney merchandise sales will certainly be strong the next 18 months!

Great idea on their part! Also, the pins appear to be very well designed. However, have you checked out the "Disneyland Opens" pin? Mickey's eyes look freaky! I understand that that's the style of the time...but
