I really like the backings I got off amazon. I don't recommend getting the ones that you need the allen wrench for. apparently it's easy to damage the pin backs with those and some people wont trade for pins that they know have had them. I got
Yes! They are from Amazon!

I had plans to make my own - but with not being able to go to stores to pick out fabric I bought these! I plan to do some sort of iron on decor on them!
Honestly, I’m not sure! I had gotten her this one last year, and I guess I assumed they would have one similar to it each Christmas! As far as I know, this wasn’t part of a big collection like it seems that your pictures show (although I like a lot of those!), I thought this one was just a “special” Christmas pin for 2021. Maybe I’m wrong!

So I don't really use them.
> When I was in the parks the traders with a lot of pins had really nice looking portfolio books. They looked kind of clunky though and I really hope to carry just a few pins when I go to the park. I really only like to have my mini backpack and not carry anything else. Any advice for a safe way to store my small collection of traders for the park? Maybe 10-15 pins.
It depends if you are looking to display them or just whip it out for trade. I think you can use an old CD case to put them in if you are looking to exchange with people. If you want to trade and display pins, I would just get an ita bag. If it's traders you are going to be exchanging in with a CM, I just stick mine in a basic one compartment toiletry/make up bag.
> I have filled my small hanging cloth pin display at home that I had pre-Disney pins so I'm looking to upgrade. Is the cloth board where you put the back on the pin worse for maintaining pins then the cork style where you stick the pins in without the backs? I don't intend to sell my pins at this time, but I still want to keep them nice over the years.
I don't think they are worse. I think it is a matter of taste. I prefer cork boards because it is easier to reorganize your collection rather than having to take each pin back out every time you want to reorganize.
This was a gift, they were sold in the disney store but I cant find them online, heres an amazon link but looks like they are out of stock there. Gives you something to go off though https://www.amazon.co.uk/Disney-Mickey-Mouse-Messenger-Backpack/dp/B08T6S72Z2
I had this same problem, I ordered these hex keys off Amazon and the smallest one did the trick! The second smallest size is the standard size for the locking pin backs found in Disney now, so either of those can work!
I got them from Amazon and they’re awesome! The trick was getting some that were .5”+ so that they’re thick enough for the pin posts. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FD871DH?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_JFEYNJM3K9ND7WD81C1P
So I saw someone on YouTube using a Shallow depth rolling shelf, which is what I will be trying soon. These drawer organizer bins might really help too. shelf bins

Most of the pin bags I have are from Disney. I have one that looks like this one from Amazon:
Extra Large Pin Bags/Trading pin Bags (New, 13 x 9 inch, Capacity 240 to 420 pins) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NJ0HZ8I/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_57767FZBPKV15P1XS6AD
I like it and it holds A LOT of pins. Plus you have plenty of room if you have giant pins. I prefer the pin bags over a binder in case a backing comes off, the pin will be in the bag and won't get lost.
At home I have them displayed in a pin display case I got off amazon (here). As far as displaying them while out in the parks, I have been looking into using a vest as an option as it will hold WAY more pins than a lanyard will.
I got a jewelry roll meant for earrings for my traders. It holds a lot, has protective flaps so they don't get scratched, and rolls up to a relatively small size. I can fit it in my water bottle holder on my backpack if I want to keep it easily accessible or tuck it down into the bottom of the backpack to keep it more secure. As someone who didn't want to wear a lanyard or carry an extra bag, I'm happy with it!
Not OP, but this is the SteamedBun Ita Double Window Candy Leather Backpack. It’s on amazon. I have the Ita bowknot window bag, and I like it. It seems well made, and it’s sturdy.
Your collection is awesome! I’m not interested in trading it because it’s one of my favorites, but this is still an open edition at the parks (I got mine in March before close) and I feel like you might want to look for it (amazon link, sorry it was the easiest link to find - I have no idea about the seller or authenticity) Authentic Disney Up Carl And Ellie Mailbox Love Letters Pin WDW https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QY6D4LG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_n1qLEbB023ZG0
Thanks for the offer but I just found a combo pack of different pin backs. Sntieecr 130 Pieces 5 Styles Metal Pin Backs Butterfly Pin Back Clasp Pin Keeper Backs with Tools and Storage Box by Sntieecr Learn more: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07Q5YJ9ND/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_GH9dDbDVNPAJ9
Must be popular. It is out of stock. I saw this case which is much smaller but seems to have a spot to keep pin backs. What do you think of it? https://www.amazon.com/Hobbymaster-Collectors-Display-Olympic-Collectible/dp/B00S8QVHNC/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=pin+collectors+display+case&qid=1555588343&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1
This one? I just discovered that it exists and managed to find it online. One more added to the collection :D
I was thinking about getting something like this and putting the pins where the story takes place, however with my collection the entire pacific would just be stitch pins.

That's awesome. I would like to grab me one of those. I just picked up an Mickey Organization XIII pin from Disney Springs two weeks ago.
The ones sold at the parks are terrible and I'll corroborate what everyone else has been saying.
I've been using these and I absolutely love them. No key involved and very convenient
They have tiny screws that need a teeny tiny allen wrench. You tighten the back around the pin to hold it in place, and its extremely stable and strong. But if you loose the micro allen wrench, you might be screwed. I got a pack of 10 or something for $10. These were the ones I got: Here
