Wow-how terrible. I was so shocked when I saw this. I'm so glad this forum exists to keep us informed about these problems.

do all the fakes have silver back?!(it would be way easier to tell that way!)
this really is sad...

Ugh!!!!!!

That's really scary. We need some song to describe the scrapper problems. That gives me the willies.

Can someone confirm for that all the pins are gold and that any that come as silver are scrappers?


I just got one off eBay, the weight feels odd and it's silver. But the paint looks great and the spelling is all fine on the back.

Thanks for sharing . . . other than the misspelling of fountain - I am surprised/impressed at how good the back stamping of the fake is . . . .

Besides the bad spelling, doesn't the ice cream pattern look pretty legit on the fake? It follows the rule of the ice cream going off the edge of the pin. They're trying to look more and more like the real ones to make it harder for us to find the fake pins.

One word: WOW!

I have the Disney soda fountain tink pin... I think it too may be fake. Has anyone heard of tink? With the cherry pie? So sad.

When I saw that pin in four different places in one day at the park, I knew something was up with it.

Wow. From the pictures it seems like a fairly high quality stamp on the back unlike a lot of fakes I have seen. Gotta love the advantages of doing business in China.
