  1. Bought these from a local shop, not sure if they’re real?

    Hey y’all! I found these pins in a local shop and was super excited (especially for the cats collection as it’s one of my ISOs) However I just want to make sure they aren’t fakes as the price was a bit too good to be true. (About $40 for all of these and one other pin) I’m fairly new to pin...

  2. Website For Confirming Genuine Pins

    I'm probably years late on this, but I thought of this a little while ago and it's been in my head ever since. I know that most of the effort against scrapper or fake pins is to teach the common trader or buyer how to identify scrappers or fakes in order to stop the market, but what if there...

  3. The Good Dinosaur Fake/Scrapper Pins Thread

    Since I've been on the look out for new Good Dinosaur pins, I was surprised to find a unique one coming from a known scrapper seller in China today (I didn't buy it, but it's on eBay if you search). I've never seen this pin before, and I have no idea if it's a flat out fake or if it's a scrapper...

    PTD - fake or real? Scat Cat

    Hello everyone, I've been interested in purchasing the new Scat Cat PTD that came out last Thursday I believe. I have been looking on FB groups and on EBay, and every single back of the Scat Cat pin seems to be fake. It was my understanding that if the ice cream design has a boarder around...

  6. Bought these online..could anyone verify that they're real?

    Hi so I'm a new collector/trader and I just bought some pins online and just wanted to verify whether or not they were real. I was lookin on here and saw that counterfeits have a type of "border" around them on the back. My pins don't have this border so does that mean they're good or are there...

  12. Is it really worth the hassle?

    About 10 months ago, I was still somewhat new to pin trading. I was fully aware of fakes and scrappers of cheap pins, hidden mickeys and the such, but i had no idea that expensive LE pins were faked. I think too that there had not yet been the explosion of high end fake pins yet at that time...

  14. HELP with determining if Stitch as Headless Horseman is a scrapper/fake?

    I got 3 pins in the mail today from a top rated seller on ebay (I know, that doesn't mean they aren't selling scrappers and the like). Two of them look and feel fine, but the third is the Stitch as Headless Horseman (part of the carousel set) LE 1600. It feels very light, and there appears to...

  17. Black Lights and Magnetism - A Long History (and what I discovered)

    My wife and I spent a LOT of time tonight at DLR, running around with a magnet and a black light since these "new" methods of telling fakes and scrappers are under scrutiny, and I wanted to see for myself. I'll divide the two and tell you what we found. This is long - read it only if you have...

    I know there are plenty of small vinylmation pin fakes, and I know exactly how to spot them. However, I was wondering if anyone has come across any JUMBO vinyl pin counterfeits. I personally haven't seen any, but then again, I haven't personally inspected very many (read: none) of these...
