You may not be an actual collector of pins, but if you're a collector of anything, I bet you have a few stashed in a drawer somewhere. I have bunches of them -- and except for eBay Live pins -- have no idea why I wound up with them. This idea could be used for any of them -- the Disney, local sporting events/teams and advertising pins I've acquired over the years.
But it was the eBay Live pins that really got me inspired and had me visiting the local jeweler to see just how he could help.
