Help with a possible counterfeit/scrapper.

[JAllenWood]

I received this pin a while back in what I thought was a great deal:

Pin 57591: DisneyShopping.com - Boo to You Spooktacular Mystery Boxed Set (Mickey & Chip 'n Dale Only)

But as I'm learning more and more about how to spot the fakes, I'm going back through my collection to see if I inadvertently picked some up. The example I have, however, does not show any 'classic' signs of being a fake other than some overflow of white enamel between the gap on the fingers of Mickey's left hand (btw, the pic above is from pinpics...haven't taken a pic of the pin in question yet).

The other factors that worry me are: 1) I now know that this pin has turned up on a list of counterfeits for sale, and 2) it was really cheap on everyone's 'favorite' auction site. Two conditions alone that almost have me believing I got duped on this one.

Have any of you out there actually spotted the fake and compared it with a real example? Any tips on what exactly to look for to verify that mine is a fake?

Any help would be appreciated.

You really need to take a clear pic of the front and back of the pin so I can see it.
Also, check all of the spelling on the back of the pin.

Until you can post pics, it is hard for me to help you but you can check spelling for now and make sure the proper terms are there.
Like if it said Pixar or Amblin..... That would be a problem as in China they do a lot of cut and paste. When they dont, I guess they dont know what spell check is...lol

Take some pics.

Hey Dan. Will do! I'll post the pics on this thread when I can get them taken.

Thanks!

Okay, finally got some pics snapped of the suspect pin. Here is a shot of the front:


Notice the white enamel overflow between the fingers at the bottom of the pic.

Here are two shots of the back:





Sorry if the lighting and focus are not the greatest. Let me know if they are not clear enough and I'll try to get some better shots.

Thanks for the help!

Your pin is also missing some black in the fib cage area besides the white paint in between the fingers. Behind the left foot of Mickey there appears to be some yellow over run of paint as well and Chips tongue seems to be the same color as the lighter portion of his fur. All of these make me think this is probably a scrapped pin but I do not know for sure just my opinion, for what it is worth.
