Disneyana: Guide to Pin Trading
(UK Customers)

Walt Disney World Resort releases more than 350 new pins per year including 10 to 12 limited edition pins, 10 to 12 core pins and 5 to 10 special event pins per month.

There are more than 80 locations on Walt Disney World property that sell pins including 40 Official Pin Trading Stations.

Collectors line up hours before the selling starts to purchase their favorite pins. Some limited edition pins sell out within 30 minutes, including the "Born to Shop Minnie," a pin featuring Minnie Mouse participating in one of her favorite pastimes -- shopping.

Disney Auctions (http://www.disneyauctions.com) presented by eBay has auctioned a two-pin set featuring "pin trading" Mickey and Minnie which sold for $2,200, making it one of the rarest Disney pins around.
