The Walt Disney Studios pin?Nope, the scrapper does have a mouse involved. It is listed as an LE 1500, but it is not the Chip and Dale Valentines one.

@Sithathoriunet
Yep, you got it! As soon as I took it off the lanyard and saw the LE 1500 on it I got suspicious. The family who had these pins bought booster packs, and then, I think traded for a few things at DL in Anaheim. The open edition and booster pins all are legit. The hidden Mickeys are scrappers as is the Studios pin.
If I were to hazard a guess, here is what I think went down. In 2007, 10 year old Emma and her parents go to DLR. It's probably February and they buy her OE pins. Chip & Dale Valentines, Personalized Princess name pin, Princess Pirates, Free D baloons and the other pins dated from pre 2005 - 2007.
In 2012 I think 15 year old Emma bought two starter Lanyard sets with the idea of trading. Tinker Bell booster, and the other '12 dated pins got traded for the scrappers. Luckily, trading either didn't hold her interest, was too time consuming or started too late in the trip.

I received a package from @firechief18 with some Disney bags, stickers and a fire hat erase. Thank you so much, I can’t wait to make more Disney Recycled bags.
@firechief18 please let me know if you would like one of the bags I currently have - picture 2 & 3. Or if your looking for something different (shape, bag design). I use mine for crochet hooks, pin traders, my husband for coin and my nephews use them as pencil cases.

I’m one of those people who always doubts/underestimates my traders and goes through dry spells of not getting any offers for months, but trades like this make it worth it!
Thank you @Disneychildwithin for the trade advice!

A package from @momin.ator arrived today! We swapped Magical Musical Moments pins, and she included two bonus pins and some fun sticker sheets!
Did we talk about how my 8 year old is OBSESSED with Simba??? I don't remember doing so, but she just about lost her mind over the pin & sticker sheet, thank you!!!

Not a pin, but…
I found this vintage Figaro figure on Poshmark… Not sure if it’s an official Disney figure (I don’t think so) or just a painted tuxedo cat lookalike, but I could not resist the sad Pound-Puppy-like eyes, so I splurged.
I thought he’d be a little guy, like my other Figaro figurines, but the box came today and it was huge! He ended up towering over his brothers!
I love him so much. I find him extra special since he’s secondhand and he seems to be one of a kind (or rare, at the very least), since I’ve never seen any like him before.

Pretty sure this is my most epic pin mail day thus far. Two PinPics trades, my trade with @dznycrzyfmly, and the 5 Pin Exchange all arrived at the same time! Woohoo!!

Here are my August acquisitions. Thanks to various DPFers for pick-ups, sales, and trades. The rest from the usual secondary market places.
More Maleficents makes me merry. So does Cyclops. Randomly saw a Rogers musical pin existed and had to have it.
Finally got the Grogu with Easter eggs. Found a deal for the Pop pin. I like the One Family pins.
The John Smith propin was on my wants list for a long time. Been waiting for the Florians because of Merida (PALM wouldn’t ship the order because of a pre-order).
Mickey and friends….I really like Mickey in a gold outfit, but I couldn’t resist Stitch leprechaun for an eventual St Patrick’s Day lanyard.
One of my side collections is the redhead from POTC, and I only had 1 of the park pack ones so when these 2 popped up, I had to get them, and they’re AP too. I always wanted the cute Pandora fauna mystery collection but delayed “until the next time”. And then they were gone. Now to find them out in the wild.
I only wanted Maleficent from this Bradford Exchange group so the others are for trade (with their cards too).
