Whats Next !?!?!?!
I think when people give what you call information and that being better than no information it is not healthy. It throws up an unnecessary red flag. From that point everyone thinks the pin is fake and they are afraid to trade for it.
I think no matter how educated you are before you make an asumption, you should have your facts straight
A little more scrapper insanity:
From:

"Does anyone have information on how to spot a scrapper version of this pin? I have two scrappers, so there is no real pin I can compare them to."
So this person has two scrappers of this pin but doesn't know how to spot a scrapper of this pin?????
In this case, I think the person is simply asking for a point by point comparison, so they will know how to properly identify the real pin in the future. Since the person, only has a scrapper, they can't do it. They may know its a scrapper because someone told them, as part of the trade, but didn't tell them what the problem was. Or there are multiple things wrong with a pin, but they are only aware of one. Or, using myself as a story. I have a tin of DL HM pins I have traded for at WDW. Because of the number of fakes on CM lanyards, I assume that they are all fakes. But having never seen the real one, and without a point-by-point description of the differences I couldn't begin to tell you if the color was wrong, the backstamp in the wrong place or wrong font, etc.
Who even cares? It isn't like they are saying they have a scrapper of a pin that had no other warnings. This just feels knit-picky to me. Getting hung up on every mistake in wording or terminology seems silly. To me, I don't care if a pin is a scrapper, counterfeit, fantasy, or a one-eyed unicorn. Either the pin is good or it is bad. Done and done.
What is silly is the scrapper paranoia that has taken over Pinpics....just take a look at the "What's New" today (or any day for that matter).
I agree with Dan on this one.... SEE it DOES happen! (Notice I left the spelling error... my compulsive side said change it but my humorous side said leave it alone.... LOL)
