My collection so far! See any you recognize? Have any favorites?
Do you recognize any of the Fandoms or Festivals?
Been collecting since 2015. Any thoughts into how i could better organize or display them?

Some different options to consider:
How do we feel about self-promotion? Currently, this sub is largely filled with people posting their Kickstarter and pins they are selling, while this should be included as we move forward as this is the reason many people are here, should we change how we do this moving forward?
NSFW content. A lot of people like NSFW pins, should it be allowed? If so, should it require specific flairs?
There are plenty of other questions, but for now, I would just appreciate anyone's thoughts on these subjects or any others!

It's from a Revolution Books location in NYC that closed in 1995. I'm not sure what to do with this one. Lol.

Some of the older ones are a little scuffed from years of travel. This is my third iteration (been through 2 other backpacks). I’ve swap out for different pins now and then, especially after conventions where I get most of my pins. May start a cork board for pins that I’ve retired from the backpack, currently stored in a box elsewhere.

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to identify this old bronze hunting badge.
Details:
Diameter: 30 mm
Material: Bronze (according to the seller)
Front: Hunting dog carrying a bird with the inscription "LOVU ZDAR"
Back: Plain pin-back with no maker's mark or hallmarks.
I searched Google Lens, Google Images, eBay and other websites but couldn't find this exact badge anywhere.
Does anyone recognize it or know:
The country of origin?
Approximate age?
The manufacturer or hunting association?
Whether it is a common badge or a rare one?
Any information about its collector value?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I've collected these every year since the charity started producing them. If anyone has any I don't have please pm me. ♥️♥️♥️

Hi friends! I’m a nurse and I attached some of my favorite pins to my fanny pack and eventually found that they fell off. Probably because I’m doing a lot of moving and frequent going in and out of my fanny.
Any secret tricks or weapons to securing them? I don’t want to lose them or get someone accidentally poked either!!!

If you need a close up of any of the pins, just ask. I know that from this distance you can't see most of the words.
Btw, my favorite pin (the $47 one) I bought for $60 on Mercari. But I'm willing to bring the price down.
I am willing to negotiate/automatically drop most all of these prices especially if you are planning on buying more than one pin. No one wants to spend $40 in total for 5 small pins.
If you have nothing nice to say, then don't say it at all. I'm tired of getting harassed on this subreddit.
Because I was getting harassed about this, I'm going to clear this up right now:
Some of these pins, I hate. I was going to donate them because they didn't fit my vibe, but then I quit my extremely toxic job and now I'm selling things in the meantime to make enough money to pay for my monthly medical things like testosterone and Zepbound (plus any medicine refills I might need for pain, anxiety, other mental things, whatever) while I'm still relentlessly looking for a new job.
The pins I don't like aren't selling, and so I've resorted to selling some of my favorite pins now (the majority of the pins on this board).
Hopefully that clears shit up. No need for DMs with paragraphs of shit or comments accusing me of shit (???)
Btw, the No Kings and Demon Girl at the bottom are acrilic, not Enamel.
I also have 3 pride Buttons: Pansexual, Trans Ally, LGBT Ally
Edit:
Liquid cats have been sold

Every single cat has been sold

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting here and wanted to share my pin collection. I like to mix my pins with pictures and art. I also want to expand my collection but I usually take my time when selecting pins. I try to select the ones that mean something to me

Could I put my bag through the security scanner without a problem or would I have to put all my pins in a separate bag?

I've had these pins for years, I got them off of etsy. They were sitting safely in my ita backpack, but I haven't really looked at them in a couple of months since the spring semester ended. I look at them today and notice these little brown spots on some of them??? These spots are not on the outside, they won't rub off no matter what I do and have no texture, so somehow its on the paper sealed behind the plastic on the pin. I'm wondering if maybe it's rust. It looks like the smaller pin has rust on the metal backing, but the others look clean. I have over a dozen pins in this bag, and these are the only 3 like this. The last picture is of 3 pins that were near these ones, also from etsy, that are completely fine. I don't believe any moisture has gotten in the bag, so I'm not sure how this happened😭😭😭 And even if moisture did get in, I'm not sure why these were only ones affected. Has anyone else experienced this?

Not sure why I chose this extremely busy tartan fabric to put most of them on when I was a kid! Going to take them all off and come up with a proper way to display them on a board!
I’ve been to all the locations myself except South America, China, Singapore Hawaii and Alaska, those were gifts
The Disney ones will always be my favourites but I do love having little reminders of all the other places I’ve been
Beverly Hills Cop and Cobra Command are added to my collection!

I have a ton of pins and I can't fit them all on my bag and showcase them, and I don't want them to stay hidden in a box either, so how can I made a display that I can put on my wall? (or send me a link to a tutorial)
Got my father's collection. Don't know what to do or think about it ! I have a few more photos that I can't upload due to reddit limits

Hi y'all!
I'm thinking about starting an online enamel pin shop and would really appreciate any advice from those who have been through the process :)
Would you recommend that first-time pin makers work with a local manufacturer or go directly to an overseas factory if they're willing to learn?
How did you decide how many pins to order for your first release?
Looking back, what mistakes did you make when starting, and what would you do differently?
Are there any manufacturers or suppliers you'd recommend for beginners? I'm currently researching options and trying to avoid common mistakes.
How do you verify that a manufacturer is legitimate before sending a deposit?
My goal is to build a small brand focused on western, country, gothic, and occult-inspired enamel pins, so I'm trying to learn as much as possible before placing my first order.
I'd love to hear about your experiences and connect with other pin makers in the community!
Also, if you had a budget of around $500–1,000, how would you spend it for your first launch?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to help! 🤍

Thinking about making around 200 custom lapel pins for an upcoming nonprofit event.
We’re trying to keep the cost around $300, so I’ve been looking at some cheaper options. Printed pins seem to make the most sense for our budget, but I’m a little worried about how they turn out in person — especially with colors and smaller details.
If anyone has experience ordering custom pins for events or organizations, I’d love to hear what worked well for you. Thanks!
