Counterfeit Cardbacks, is it possible?
Hello everyone!
Once again, I am new to these boards and I am loving every minute of it. But since I am considered a
beginner, I don't want to make the mistake of buying something considered 'fake' in the future. On that note, I wanted to
talk about pins and their cardbacks. I know that if a pin was bought from an authorized disney retailer that it comes on a card back
and whoever still has a cardback means that the pin is in new condition. However, I was just wondering if anyone who counterfeits
pins can also somehow counterfeit cardbacks to make the pin look more real? Okay, I'll give you a scenario....
Lets say someone was selling/trading a counterfeit pin that was obviously fake to someone else. And the
buyer had a hunch it was fake. BUT, that trader said that the pin still had the original card (counterfeit) to make
the fake pin more real. And since the pin still has the original cardback it must be real right? So the
person buys/trades for it.
Has this ^^ ever happened before? I know this is a hypothetical situation and I know I am also being a paranoid first time trader,
but you never know...
Anyways I wanna hear your feedback on this topic.
Sorry if I scared anyone or anything like that haha. It wasn't my intent at all.
