Well Sunday when I was packing my bag I noticed a button was missing from my con purse. I have a ton of buttons on it, but there was an empty spot, and realized that poor Tasuki was missing. It is a nice enamel pin with him posing with with his fan i believe. I've had the pin for so long I have to think about it a little. If you did find it I would love to have it back. The pinch clip that held in the back must have gone bad I would be happy to send you a few dollars for shipping if you did find it. Thanks so much!

Not that it helps you now - but as a pin collector ( I do the Disney trading thing at the parks ) I can not express love enough for these: Locking pin backs

They don't require a hex key or anything complicated - and I can say that they stand up to a lot of force.

Yes he had one of the pinch kind, but it must have been bad I think... sigh I think next time I will put glue on the pin and stick that locking back on and hopefully that will give it more staying power! I dont think i have that particular kind on locking pin back though, I will have to go to JoAnns and see if they have some to see how well they work for my other pins, so I don't lose them too.

I thank you for the idea!

Yep, the pinch ones are never reliable. These ones you have to pull the two halves of the back away from each other - hard to explain... but I've never lost a pin since switching. Worth every penny (esp for those "came in a box set not sold separately" type of pins.

Yes I have few like that, that I havent put on anything. So worried about losing them... But hey this could work Off to find good pin backs this weekend!
