It starts with one pin.
That’s the dangerous part.
In this episode of Meet Me on Main Street, Joey dives deep into the emotional, nostalgic, and surprisingly massive world of Disney pin trading. From how Disney officially launched pin trading back in 1999 during EPCOT’s Millennium Celebration, to the insanely rare pins worth thousands of dollars today, this episode explores how tiny pieces of metal became one of the biggest Disney communities in the world.
But this episode goes way beyond just collecting.
We’re talking about the memories attached to pins, the thrill of the hunt, crazy pin events that sell out every year, rare grail pins, scrappers and fake pins, late-night EPCOT trading sessions, and how Disney pin trading somehow brings complete strangers together through a shared love of Disney magic and nostalgia.
Whether you’re a serious collector with binders full of grails, or somebody who only owns one special pin from a family trip years ago… this episode is for you.
