Help with two oddly numbered DLRP stitch pins
I have a question about:
and
Two gentlemen showed up yesterday with TONS of DLRP pins at DLR. They had literally 10-15 of each set of Paris' recent "Cast Members Refresh Lanyard" pins as well as the above pins and many more rare DLRP pins. They claimed to have spent a lot of time at DLRP but are from the US. I will say that I have gotten DLRP Cast Member Series pins from other traders and the ones that these guys had seemed to match exact and I am not questioning the legitimacy of those that they had. However, I saw something really, really strange about the two posted above.
Each one is supposed to be an LE 600 pin (pin numbers 49059 and 49061 respectively). And as always, DLRP LE pins are individually numbered on the back. However, the numbers on the backs of these did not feel right at all; they both said "001/006" on the back instead of "***/600" like they should have. A friend of mine traded them for both and the traders who had them did not want anything serious at all for them; only a couple of DSFs each, ones they knew were not very valuable.
I don't know very much about DLRP pins, but it felt strange all the same. My friends were ecstatic to get them until those oddball numbers were pointed out. They asked me what I thought since I collect Stitch hoping I would know something about them, but all I could do is look up the pinpics pages for each and show them what they were supposed to be. I told them that I could not put a label on them since I myself have never had them but that I would not have traded for them were I in their position. I can say that the pins were absolutely flawless, and they were both pin-on-pin like they are supposed to be. Other than the number issue, they were perfect.
Any thoughts or insight?
