"Honest" scrapper sellers

[imp]

First time I've seen this: an ebay listing for a "copy" of a Hidden Mickey Yzma bowling pin. The listing even points out the difference in colouring from the real thing. Sad to say, it's a Canadian seller.

That's still illegal right? I mean, the fact that they are pointing it out first doesn't change anything does it?

I think we just entered the Twilight Zone.

I believe there are a small amount of traders who actually collect scrappers and counterfeit pins. Most just get them to see how many variations are out there and some like to collect them as examples of what a scrapper looks like and can use it as a visual aid to help explain what to look for in a bad pin. I know that my wife and I have a small pin wallet full of fake pins, so we can help educate people on what to look out for in the fake pin world. Picture is worth a thousand words, as they say.
