  1. What do you do with scrappers?

    So I have bought some pins that turn out to be scrappers. Nothing I can really do now about it and of course don't want to keep in my collection/possession (can't look at them without getting upset). The reason I am posting is to find out what everyone else has done with their scrappers...

  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. Pin #3135 -- is it a scrapper?

  5. Possibly the Worst Counterfeit Pin I Have Ever Seen

    Umm, does anyone else see a problem with this pin? I just saw it listed on Ebay by what appears to be a newcomer to the scrapper business. It appears they have a bit of a quality control issue.

    Hey All! I'm new to the site and new to pin trading. Last week was my first visit to WDW and I'm already obsessed with pin trading! Since I got back I've been reading a ton on trading and how prevalent scrappers are, esp on Cast Member's lanyards :( As I was marking on pinpics the pins I...

  8. 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...

  10. Solicitation from Chinese Scrapper Factory - Where to Report??

    I received the below message in response to a pin listing I had posted on Ebay. What is interesting is that the company actually sent me the message through Ebay, as if they were asking a question about my listing (which I thought was kind of bold). Does anyone know where I should report this...

  11. Fake of Pin 92511?

    So, I am looking to buy Pin 92511WDW - Mickey's Circus - Mystery Collection - Sinister Sideshows - Hades Chaser Only. I have found someone selling 3 of them. This is a LE 100 pin, so that seems a little off. The person also has some negative ratings for selling scrappers. However, I asked for a...

  12. Can someone help me tell if my pins are counterfeit?

    Hello all. I'm new to the hobby and was only recently made aware of scrappers and counterfeits and how prevalent they can be for some of the series I was looking to find. I got some hidden mickey carousel horse pins today, and I'm a little unsettled thinking they might not be real. The...

    HM pin of Dug from Pixar's UP - No info found

    I got this pin on a CM's lanyard when I was in park last weekend: (scale in cm) I traded for this because it was cute (It's the dog named Dug from UP, right?). After I got home, I tried to check the "for-profit pin site" for any information for this pin... nothing. To make it more strange, I...

  15. Variations Between Two Of The Same "Official" Pin

    Is it normal for two pins from the same store, in original packaging, etc., to have slight variations? I have two that I know are both official, from the same store and same day of sale, but I notice things like slightly thicker metal lines in some areas (as if the paint was less or more) and...

  16. Scrapper or legit?

    Hi everyone, I recently bought this Ariel crest pin on eBay. The seller (kiljoy667) had listed it as "new, on card". When it arrived however, the metal was a tiny bit worn/tarnished and there were some faint vertical scratches on the enamel. I also checked the SKU on the card and lo and behold...

    Are these real?

    I traded cast members for most of these back in 2007 - 2008 (unless otherwise noted) and always wondered about the discrepancies/differences in the printing on the backs. Would you guys mind taking a look at the following photos and sharing your opinion? #4 of 4 feels lighter than all...
