Pin horror story!
A while before I joined the forums I wasn't aware of "fake/scrapper/counterfeit" type pins and of course I fell for the "it's too good to be true".
Here is a picture of them.
Pin 53902
Stitch: You'll notice, stitch's ears and light blue areas are faded and his teeth are yellow. There are obvious dips and the pin is not thick at all, its very thin. The back of the pin is REALLY convincing as it shows everything it's supposed to, the scariest part is this pin has been traded in the park without people realizing it's fake (this is what the wear in the back is from).
Pin 39762
Snow White & Charming: Here there are obvious dips, green boots, snow white's mouth is all red and when you turn it around to the back. It should have the pin trading logo, the journey through time logo (which it does but it's clearly not well printed), and Limited Edition 300 (which it does not), © Disney, Made in China.
In the end I didn't suffer any loss here, but it was still a shock to have encountered them in my first time of pin trading.
