How do you store your pins?

It's not very sophisticated, but they look great in my display case ...

I remember one board member here mentioning and I think even showing a scan of his pins in styrofoam or similar foam. Unless there's some reason to see the back then I think this is a good idea, as you can pretty much align them any way you want, and cstomize the size of your display case.

Thanks guys. Chris, I really like your display, especially the wax boxes. I've done something similar but I'm looking for a way of protecting the pins and being able to store them when I run out of shelf space.

I don't have to worry about running out of space for my pins because I have all the cheap ones, and everyone I need is like $500. Did you see the prices in the last Hake's auction? Pins have become a rich man's sport.

I can sympathize. I looked in awe at the sums at the last Hake's auction. My style is to find items in lesser auctions where the prices are far more reasonable. If I can buy pins in a coin auction and cards in a toy auction... I sometmes find bargains.

Pins and Pennants are fun additions to my collection. I just need much less space to manage my pin collection.

Where do you get the single pin plastic snap cases with the cotton or foam backing? The small ones that I usually see press pins sold in. I have no idea where to search for them.

Thanks in advance.

Don't have any pins myself, but could gem jars be an option? Maybe someone has used them?

There are varying sizes up to 2 inches or so I believe. This would only work for some of your smaller pins probably.

Pictures from Ebay.

Might be a better source out there, but do you mean lapel pin cases like these?

These could work, but I was really talking about the ones that Mark has in his pics of his displays. The ones with single pins in them. Where do you get those ones Mark?
