Muppet Disney Pins, lots of Kermit

[dented]

I have about 90 Muppet Disney pins, many of them are Kermit. I have lots of limited edition, all of the cast lanyard pins, and quite a few rare pins. Many of them sell for $20 - 50$ each on Ebay. About the cheapest they run is two to three bucks. I have collected these personally, but I just don't want to display them.

My wife is going to allow me to sell if I can recoup a significant portion of the money I spent on them.

I am also actively trying to purchase the Gonzo and Animal Master Replica. So I might be willing to work out a trade in the process.

Could you please post a list of what you have? Thanks.
BTW: You might be able to find a bit more variety of Muppet character pins by searching through Pinpics or joining the Disney Pincast Listeners Association group on Facebook and posting what you're looking for there.
Hope this helps.

Oh, and I tried to do a round estimate of what each pin would go for on Ebay based on what I have sold in the past, what I have bought, and the many hours browsing muppet pins looking for holy grails.

My estimate might be extremly low or high, but it is a starting point at least.

For the 96ish official Disney Muppets pins I came up with an approximate value of about $800. That works out to be about 8.30 per pin on average. Considering most LE pins are in the $12-$15 when purchased new, and most non-LE pins are $7 - $10, I think that is probably a fair estimate.

Now, I have not talking prices with my wife at all, so please don't be upset if I cannot reply to you with an exact price immediately.

Finally, for now I am trying to keep the collection together. At some point, if I have not sold it already, I might be willing to break the collection apart.

Thanks for your consideration.

Hmm... You've got a couple I already have in there. Do you have the World Geography pin with Sam the Eagle from PTU? Also, on the off chance, would you have the Nightmare set listed from Pinpics 58268 to 58281?

 

[dented]

The world geography Sam(along with the piece of history, the macy's thanksgiving parade, and the Bunsen and Beaker jumbo pins) was/is one of my holy grails still. The last time I saw it for sell on ebay was over a year ago, and I couldn't stomach $50 for it. Now I sort of wish I had.

Besides the muppet pins that I collect, my wife collects Beauty and Beast, UP, and Stitch and we collect together some Star Wars pins from the Star Wars Weekends events (I wish we could put together a Muppet Weekend at Hollywood Studios), so I can't help you with the Nightmare Pins either.

 

[The Count]

S'al right then. Just keep it in mind, if you happen to find, any fellow Nightmare collectors in your pin-groups or pin-meets.

 

[Andy Wolf]

I am looking for a pin which you have -- I hope we can work out a trade:

Pin 44895 (Jumbo 50th)

Can we talk?

ps: to see my pins for trade, my PinPics ID: muppetfinder
pps: I have a *ton* of Muppets merchandise going back to the beginning... my website is being updated. I do have a ton of Kermit (and everyone else). You can ask Phillip -- we met at MuppetFest back in 2001.

Hmm, will look up your collection over the week. Welcome to MC and hope you have a good time exploring the forums.
