Need Help Identifying These Pins ... Scrappers. Bootlegs or Authentic

[tinkerbelle1956]

trying to do my other ones, my computer is acting up


from pin pics :

Baby teddy bear with white shirt and pink bow. I traded with a cast member at WDW for this pin. Says Disney on rear.

These "Precious Moments" pins are scrapper pins sold to individuals directly from factories in China. These pins that have the (c) Disney on the back were made in error and were to be destroyed, however, they are being sold to individuals not associated with Disney or the Precious Moments Company.

If no one wants it, it's going in the garbage .

I can tell you off the bat the Pluto pin is a fake. Well. With the photo it's hard to tell. Is the Pluto pin large in size?

 

[Muppetationalsean]

For Example. Both of these pins I have are HEAVILY scrapped.
But I have one real and one fake.

The Owl Silhouette pin is fake, but the Vultures pin is not.

The OPT Emblem on both are different. Owl has more of a pointed-border around the emblem, while the Vultures pin's emblem border isn't as pointed and the border is smaller.

 

[tinkerbelle1956]

which Pluto ? I have 3 different pictures of Pluto pins .

 

[Muppetationalsean]

The Pluto pin with the two Pin Posts . I thought I wrote Christmas Pluto but I didn't

 

[tinkerbelle1956]

Ok, thanks Muppett . I was afraid it might be . Another one being heaved .
But what about the Plto in fire truck, one cast lanyard, one larger hidden mickey

 

[Muppetationalsean]

Umm...Look at the back. Are the emblems different? and the year both?

 

[Muppetationalsean]

Then again they both can be legitimate. Just different in sizes.

Originally, Hidden Mickey pins were referred to as "Cast Lanyard Series" pins, and they did not come with silver Mickey heads. For the 3rd series at WDW, they started adding the silver Mickey heads, which made for an interesting situation. Some of the pins only had Mickey head versions, while others had non-Mickey head and Mickey head versions. The Pluto that came in this series, should have the Cast Lanyard designation on the back. This is [pinpics]36557[/pinpics]

Then, in 2006-2007 they renamed the series to "Hidden Mickey" pins. This set of pins were remakes of previous Cast Lanyard pins. Not all of them that had ever been made, but some of them. Some of them were almost identical to their predecessors but some were different in that they were smaller or had color changes. This is [pinpics]51444[/pinpics].

Both pins were legitimately released by Disney. But since these pins were released in the scrapper time frame, it is possible scrappers could exist, but I can't tell from your photos. But the different backstamps is explained by these were two separate releases of the pin, and in between, the "terminology" Disney used to categorize these pins changed.

The owl has a pointed-border around the emblem, and bald eagle pin badge border no points and boundary is small.
