I enjoy collecting pins mostly, here is the current state of my pinboard. Mostly coaster related, and the non coaster ones will probably have to soon be relegated to a secondary one!

Lapel pins are my favorite, but I wish more gift shops carried them!
They are starting to become really popular as more and more parks are embracing pin trading.
What do people mean when they say pin trading? Like I get the concept but I've never seen it happen in real life. And why do people trade their pins? If I buy a pin I intend to keep it, why would I want somebody else's? Maybe this all makes more sense in the context of Disney, which seems to be the point of gravity for the pin YouTubers. I have zero Disney pins.
I'm not really in to it myself but it is something that started at Disney but now is rapidly spreading in other chains and parks. What I gather is it's a challenge of collecting certain pins that are limited edition..... Many times certain pins are only released to employees so people who want that specific pin will need to trade it with them for something else. I've been with friends who have bought a pin solely on the basis that it would be a good pin to trade up for something else.
