Hidden Mickey 2018 WDW - Alice in Wonderland Cards - Spade Soldier Chaser

This silver-toned pin features one of the iconic Spade Soldiers, a playing card character from Disney's 1951 classic animated film, Alice in Wonderland. As part of the 2018 Hidden Mickey set released at Walt Disney World, this specific pin represents the highly sought-after Chaser variant within the Alice in Wonderland Cards sub-set. The design depicts a stylized, geometric spade card character holding an axe, characterized by its clean, metallic aesthetic that mimics the playing card soldiers tasked with guarding the Queen of Hearts. Collectors prize this pin because it is a Chaser, which acts as a rarer, more elusive version of the standard pins found in this Hidden Mickey series. Hidden Mickey pins were originally available exclusively through Cast Member pin trading at Walt Disney World parks and resorts, making them a staple of the trade-board experience. The Spade Soldier, known for its rigid, obedient nature in the film, is a popular subject for collectors of Alice in Wonderland memorabilia. This piece is particularly appreciated for its minimalist design and its role as a challenging find for those attempting to complete the full 2018 set. Because it is a Chaser, it holds a higher trade value and desirability compared to the base pins in the collection.
