Pricing is based primarily on current and historical market data, not what I originally paid. Please remember that as a seller, my sales costs also include packaging tape, printer ink, printer paper, shipping supplies, sales tracking and auction listing tools, not to mention the 12-14% that eBay commissions and payment processing take off the top for fees and commissions. Prices include $2.99 SHIPPING on all FIXED PRICE items (Domestic Only). All of these costs are included in what you are paying. My pricing reflects the real costs of selling in today's market, including packing materials, supplies, listing and tracking tools, and eBay's 13 to 1 5 % combined fees. All FIXED PRICE listings include $2.99 domestic shipping, which is built into the price. 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. Rarity drives value. 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. I also aim to be at or near the lowest total price on eBay (item plus shipping). 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. While I do sell WDI, WDS, DEC, and similar releases, retail-purchased pins simply don't carry the same weight as those directly tied to the parks and the Cast Members who made them run. After more than 2 6 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: Few films in the history of animation possess the artistic legacy of Pinocchio, Walt Disney's second full-length animated feature. Released in 1940 during the golden age of hand-drawn animation, the film astonished audiences with its extraordinary visual depth, richly painted backgrounds, and emotionally resonant storytelling. Eighty-five years later, the film continues to stand as one of the most technically ambitious achievements ever produced by the Walt Disney Studio. Created to commemorate that milestone, this Walt Disney Imagineering Limited Edition of 250 pin captures one of the most beloved domestic moments from the story within the warm interior of Geppetto's workshop. At the heart of the composition, the kindly woodcarver Geppetto proudly lifts his newest creation, Pinocchio, presenting the puppet who will soon embark upon a journey toward becoming a real boy. Below the pair, the small but memorable personalities that help bring the workshop to life appear in delightful detail. The playful kitten Figaro reaches toward a raised sculpted fishbowl where Cleo swims serenely. This interaction reflects one of the films recurring visual gags, where Figaro's endless curiosity toward Cleo provides gentle comic relief within Geppetto's cozy home. The design itself subtly echoes the environment of the film. The ornate scrolling frame surrounding the scene resembles the decorative wood carvings that fill Geppetto's shop, transforming the pin into what feels like a miniature puppet-stage or carved display panel taken directly from the craftsman's workshop. The raised fishbowl element adds dimensional depth, creating the effect of two small worlds within the scene: the workshop floor where Figaro prowls and the delicate glass habitat where Cleo glides. Released by Walt Disney Imagineering, the creative arm responsible for designing Disney's parks and attractions, pins of this nature are produced in extremely limited quantities and distributed through special Imagineering events and channels. With an edition size of only 250 pieces, this anniversary tribute reflects the refined artistry and storytelling detail that Imagineering collectibles have become known for among Disney pin collectors. Blending nostalgic imagery, dimensional sculpting, and the enduring charm of Disney's second animated feature, this commemorative pin serves as both a celebration of Pinocchio's 85-year legacy and a beautifully crafted miniature tableau from one of animations most treasured films.
