All of these costs are included in what you are paying. All photos are taken with an iPhone 14 Pro Max using Photoroom Pro for clear, well-lit images. High-resolution photography can make minor imperfections appear more pronounced than they are in hand. After nearly 30 years in the hobby, I can say with confidence that finding truly perfect pins is rare. Plastic sleeves may be removed briefly for photography and replaced immediately afterward. Pricing is based primarily on current and historical market data, not what I originally paid. Because values fluctuate, items may occasionally be listed at or below cost. Pins that surface only a few times a year, or not at all, are priced accordingly due to their difficulty to replace. Cast Member and non-retail pins are my focus and specialty. Reasonable offers are welcome, though flexibility is usually limited. As a collector first, I focus on pins that were earned, awarded, or issued outside of retail channels. After more than 2. Years in this hobby, Ive watched the market cycle many times. New releases often command high prices due to online promotion and the steady influx of new collectors, while older pins quietly fade from view. Yet history shows that long-term value tends to favor earlier, scarcer pieces, especially Cast Member pins that were never meant to be commodities in the first place. With well over 300,000 Disney pin designs now in existence and new discoveries still appearing, the best advice I can offer is to look backward as much as forward. There is nothing wrong with collecting new releases, but the strongest long-term pieces are usually those with a direct connection to Disney’s history, its parks, and its people. Those are the pins that have consistently held their ground over time. Many of my offerings. Represent a category of Disney memorabilia that was never intended for retail sale, but rather issued through service, recognition, or internal distribution. Pieces like this carry a direct connection to the parks and the Cast Members who operated them, setting them apart from modern retail releases. While new pins often command attention due to promotion and novelty, long-term collector value has historically favored older, scarcer examples with documented institutional significance. For collectors focused on heritage rather than hype, these are the pins that tend to endure. Description: Disneyland opened in 1955 and forever altered the landscape of themed entertainment. Seventy years later, the 70th Anniversary marked a generational milestone in the park’s history. To commemorate the occasion, Club 33 released a limited series of anniversary-exclusive pieces available only to members. These were never offered for public retail sale. This oversized presentation pin was produced specifically for the Disneyland 70th Anniversary and limited to just 300 pieces worldwide. Unlike the companion Club 33 70th Mickey pin, which was issued in an edition of 600, this example represents one of the lowest-edition anniversary releases for the event. This is a jumbo-format presentation piece measuring approximately 4 ” tall by 4″ wide. Multi-layered sculpted metal framework. Deep enamel fill in pink, violet, blue, and gold tones. Iridescent gradient “33” centerpiece. Ornamental filigree inspired by New Orleans Square ironwork. Triple post backing for structural stability. The scale and dimensional depth move this piece firmly into display-category territory. It was designed for presentation, not casual wear. LIMITED EDITION 300 / EDITION LIMITÉE DE 300. Club 33 crest box stamp. Mickey waffle pattern backing. All hallmarks consistent with authentic Club 33 production. Pin remains housed in its original Club Thirty-Three branded presentation box. No visible enamel loss, chipping, or metal wear observed. Please review all photographs carefully as they form part of the description. Rarity, Edition Significance & Market Scarcity. Limited to 300 pieces worldwide. Club 33 exclusive distribution. Disneyland 70th Anniversary issue. While I have additional piece of the Mickey companion pin, this is the ONLY example of this pin I have to offer. Half the production quantity. Larger in physical scale. Architecturally ornate rather than character-driven. Currently absent from the open market. When a Club 33 anniversary piece reaches zero available supply, pricing is no longer dictated by frequency of sales but by replacement difficulty. Club 33 milestone anniversary pieces are not replenished once distribution concludes. When secondary market availability contracts to zero, the next opportunity is entirely dependent on whether a current owner elects to part with theirs. Serious collectors understand that scarcity in this tier is not measured in days, but in windows. This is not a standard trading pin. It is a centerpiece. Scale and layered construction make it ideally suited for framed shadowbox presentation alongside other Club 33 or milestone anniversary releases. Oversized Club 33 editions historically trade infrequently and tend to settle into established collections for extended periods. Reasonable offers will be considered. Year of Release: 2025. Where Released: Disneyland (Club 33). Traders Having This Pin: 2. Traders Wanting This Pin: 13. Backer Card: Yes (Box). Pin Central # 216327. Edition Type/Size: LE 300.
