Yeah I've come to realize the hard way.

Speaking of, did you see that dead weather gun pin that just sold for like $46? Crazy

$46 for a pin? I assume that's not the norm?

Collecting Buttons

That gun pin is my favorite from TMR. Damn I sure would like that big vinyl magnet/button from SXSW. Never knew it existed. Very cool looking . They seem to have the best stuff at SXSW.

I'm not sure how accurate this value is

also, I'd potentially trade these two off if anyone had interest
not sure how old they are, they're definitely not new

Haha this is funny!

Also, would you wanna get rid of one of those "I heart meg" buttons? I see quite a few on that dog
Sorry, no can do. The wife's name is Meg, therefore I have to keep every last one of them.

My Jack White/ TMR related pin collection. I still have a lot of gaps. I am interested in buying the ones I miss. I do have a few duplicates too.

Nice! I've got about 95% of what you have and a few others. You need to track down the penguin that goes with your UGWNL camera. Those were available in the TMR button machine, not sure if they still are or not.

Those look great, Panos! Made me want to get out my buttons and pour over them.

Yeah this is in my ISO list. Hopefully I ll get one.
Not too hard to find I guess. I just need the right timing (ie. a friend to visit the TMR store).
PS I hope the didnt put back in the machine the ones that Swank had in his mouth.

Speaking of ISO, here is what I am after. I have a few duplicates and I am interested in a trade with adult swirlers.
- Raconteurs silver pin set
- World's Fastest Record pin set
- Jerry Lee Lewis pin set
- Coco pin (and ticket stub)
- UGWNL pin
- TDW pins I miss (these include 2 full sealed pin sets and a few standalone ones from pin machine and other events)
- Karen Elson pin machine stand alone pins

Didn't we talk about trading pins a while back? I have three extras you don't have - the single Consolers silver pin and two Karen pins from the button machine. Hit me up with your extras for trade or I can just price them out for you.

EDIT:
I also have this set which is now showing as out of stock on TMR.com

Ooh, that one of the entrance of TMR is cool.

Yeah, that one and the one to the right of it I hadn't seen before. I'll sell/trade the others because I have them already.
