I collect Hunchback, Aristocats, and the international Disney parks pins. (Eurodisney, Tokyo Disney, and Disney Hong Kong.) But I'm a sucker for any pin that's "cute" too :) I'd collect Song of the South pins too but I've yet to see any.
Forwarding the entry link to my pal keechakatt. Not only is she hooked on the damned things, but she's also hooked on scrapbooking. She once made a shadowbox of some of her Pirates pins and some woman she'd barely met offered her 200 bucks for the thing. The pins themselves were worth maybe half that.
I tell you those pins are worse than any drug you can get hooked on. LOL
My Disney pin trading is strange. I don't collect to trade, and I collect only certain Pirates of the Caribbean pins. I have the cartoon ones, and Will and Elizabeth. I don't grab everyone I see but just the ones I like. I also collect Aladdin pins, but Jasmine and Aladdin only as a couple, which makes it harder to find.
maroon_ed is correct, I put my pins in shadow box frames and use my scrapbooking "talent" to make "artistic" creations to hang on the wall. Much better than them sitting in a drawer or getting lost being worn.
The fact that someone offered me money for the shadow box I made from the cartoon pins shocked me. Of course DH said, "You should have accepted." It was just too much work to get all of them and then make the darn thing, I just could not part with it.
I collect Eeyore, Tinkerbell, and Stitch. I'd collect Figaro, but I've only seen like two pins out there. There's also the random meaningful pins on my lanyard, like the firefighter/Mickey pin (my uncle's a firefighter) or the limited edition "special guest" pin.
I used to hate Disneyland with a passion. I got picked up by the Disney Nazis because of a couple of harmless pranks... :-P
