Six short steps into digital pin collecting, from what a pin is to where collectors hang out.
- 01
Understand the hobby
Digital pins are collectible enamel-style pins you gather, trade, and display in Pinbooks. Sets drop on a calendar; editions and variants make the chase fun.
- 02
Meet the official platform
Disney Pinnacle (by Dapper Labs) is where pins live — app, storefront, capsules, trading, and Marketplace. Digital Pin Club is where collectors meet up alongside it.
- 03
Learn drops, editions, burns & trading
Read how storefront windows and capsules work, what OE vs LE means, why leftover LE pins are often burned so circulating supply can sit under the cap, and how Trade Links plus the Marketplace fill gaps — then verify fees and windows officially.
- 04
Follow the calendar
The Calendar lists upcoming drops so you always know what’s next. Confirm timing on the official site.
- 05
Join the club
Community is where collectors hang out. Introduce yourself, ask questions, and show a Pinbook when you’re ready.
