Beware people trying to trade Magic Measures cast pins

[docfish2u]

This is a warning to anybody who might want to trade for the Magic Measures 2014 cast travel agent award pins. I just traded for several of them from a former member here who said he received them from a cast member friend. They were not quality pins. He never told me that there were as he puts it "flaws" in the pins. I suspect he is dealing in scrapper pins and would highly recommend against trading for any pins in this series or this trader.

I will never again trade for this series of pins as they are being sold in multiples from China.

I traded for some a while back, but they all seem quality. Would you like some pictures of mine?

Over on FB, I saw someone selling several styles for what I thought was a cheap price. This would explain it. And oh yes, our favorite NC seller with his new "alien" username is selling them on Ebay.

It would be nice to see pictures of both the bad quality ones and the good ones that chubs191 has to compare!

If I still had them I would try to do that. The Bambi pin that was sent to me had a major divot down the center of the pin and the Simba pin I received had major steaks in it.

I believe the authentic ones have the serial number backstamp. I saw a Simba one with and without the #. The one with the # I'm told was direct from the CM who obtained it.

Oh dear. I have a WiR Magic Measures pin coming from a pinpics trade. The user seemed legit... I guess I'll just have to wait and see, and hope. :/

You should start a FB account, even under a different name and join all the FB Disney Pin trading/selling groups. The scrapper Magic Measures have been around for a while now

 

[docfish2u]

If you mean I should join FB, sorry not going to happen. I don't have the time nor the desire. Vixy, email me about the person you traded with.

Yes I was so upset a few months ago when I found they were majorly scrappered ;w;

Eh, I'm FB and a member of lots of the Disney pin trading/selling groups, and I didn't know about it. Nobody can be aware of everything.

Will do.

I have the Lion King one, and it seems legit. Doesn't look too bad (except for maybe a few pinpricks, it's been awhile since I've looked at it). I can take another look at it and post photos when I have the chance.
