Gadget from Frame Set “Cheddar to the Rescue”
So this is about Pin 31358 Gadget from Frame Set “Cheddar to the Rescue” - LE 50 from a framed set
I own this pin, I traded for it... a very long time ago, like sometime around 2005-2006. This was really just before the scrapper problem started to surface. I remember being glad I had the pin before these started popping up on lanyards everywhere. I don't 100% know it's legit, but the trader I got it from I knew, and he had many other broken up framed set pins of this caliber, and from the same event. So I've always hoped it was real.
My friend just traded for one recently at the parks. There are some discrepancies, but it's also pretty good looking, so I don't know what to think. Is mine real? Is hers real? Are they both real? Sometimes not all pins in the framed sets would be identical, for whatever reason...
Front view - Hers is on the left, mine is on the right
From the front, the colors are well identical! The only discrepancy I can see here, we didn't notice until after we took the photo that on her pin, the shirt isn't colored in. No dips, lines appear the same thickness.
Back view - Again, hers on the left, mine on the right
Her back has the logos printed more on center. My back has the two nubs that everyone swears by. My pin has a more yellow gold tint to the back color.
Side View - Mine is on top, and hers is on the bottom
Mine is definitely thicker.
I dunno how to really say for sure unless someone else out there for sure has the framed set in their possession... but open to anyone's thoughts and comments.
