This Is Not A Pin!

This clever and self-referential pin is part of the 2010 Walt Disney World Hidden Mickey Series: Pin Trading Phrases Collection. It features a bold green circular background with the white text 'THIS IS NOT A PIN!', a humorous nod to René Magritte’s famous 'The Treachery of Images' surrealist painting. The pin design incorporates the iconic Mickey Mouse silhouette, featuring two black ears at the top and a small, subtle Mickey Mouse icon at the bottom center. As a Limited Release, this piece was originally distributed as a Cast Member lanyard pin, making it a staple of the Walt Disney World pin trading community during that era. The meta-humor of the text has made it a fan-favorite among collectors who appreciate the ironic commentary on the hobby of pin trading itself. Its simple yet striking aesthetic captures the playful nature of Disney park collectibles. As a Hidden Mickey pin, it was not sold in retail stores, which adds to its allure for those looking to complete their sets from that year. This pin serves as a witty reminder of the joy and occasional absurdity found in the world of Disney pin collecting.
