Disney Pins have become a remarkably popular collectible among all kinds of Disney fans, especially since Walt Disney World debuted pin trading at the parks during their Millennium celebration for 2000/2001. With the celebration long since over, the pin trading and collecting hasn't let up at all and has expanded to all the other Disney parks as well. Retail prices for pins at the Disney parks are usually between and for individual pins so they aren't too expensive either. If you're buying them from other collectors those prices can go up or down, depending on just how desirable a particular pin is among collectors online.
While many collectors of Disney pins simply buy and trade pins that appeal to them in the moment, it is also possible to build up a pretty substantive collection by sticking to a particular theme. Keeping your collection themed also helps control costs and dealing with the overwhelming selection of pins available. Every month Disney releases dozens of new pins and even with an unlimited pocketbook, it is impossible to get them all. It makes more sense to theme your collection. For example, I only collect Mickey Mouse pins, Stitch pins and pins featuring Walt Disney himself. When I first started collecting, I was much less focused, but once I settled upon my themes, it was easy enough to sell or trade the pins that didn't fit my collection for ones that did.

Some of the themes you might consider for your Disney pin collection are Disney characters. Mickey Mouse, Tinker Bell and Winnie the Pooh are some of the most popular choices among pin collectors and you can amass a collection in the hundreds of just one of these characters. Right now I have at least 75 pins featuring just Mickey Mouse. In order to keep my collection's focus even tighter, I usually only buy the pins that feature Mickey on his own and not with all his friends.
Other themes might include Disney cast member pins - these are pins that are only distributed or sold to Disney employees and they are a very popular collectible item; or you could build your collection on pins only released at Disneyland or in the international parks - Disneyland Paris, Tokyo or Hong Kong. It's all up to you -- you could even specialize in just Disney Cruise Line pins!
