[pinpics]51362[/pinpics] Seems legit
[pinpics]66621[/pinpics] Seems legit
[pinpics]70892[/pinpics] Seems legit...no warnings issued.

[pinpics]75686[/pinpics] If yours has a silver backing, it may be a scrapper or counterfeit. This pin has known reproductions.
[pinpics]58423[/pinpics] Has known reproductions. If the tree is more lime in color, it's not legit.
[pinpics]66612[/pinpics] Known reproductions. Color tint is off and font is a different size on back.
[pinpics]66611[/pinpics] Same as above
[pinpics]75167[/pinpics] Scrapper Alert: An easy way to spot would be to look at the base of the post on the back. It is raised and not as close to the pin as the real ones are. And in some cases, the two nubs are not even the same size or are crooked. Also, the base of the post is smaller than the real ones and set much higher and almost at the top of the back of the pin.
[pinpics]75166[/pinpics] Same as above. Colors look way off to me.
[pinpics]75169[/pinpics] Again, same as above and colors look off.

If from ebay or any other auction sorce, I would say they are all fakes. I trust nothing from ebay, especially in lots.
 
I would agree. I have bought a single pin for 3 dollars that was legit before. If those pins were in a lot they are most likely not real or scrappers.
