I stopped collecting them too, I just got bored of the whole thing & I really only have enough space to keep so many. I haven't gotten rid of any in my great collection -heavily biased of Tinker Bell pins - but I certainly have stopped buying and trading.

Funny you said that AJ. Last trip I took a little bag full of pins & everytime I got into a conversation with a family or children on the buses, boats, monorail, etc. I'd let them pick a pin for them to keep. With their parents permission, of course. It's a nice way to share something you don't use anymore & the kids get way excited.
