Counterfeit Jessica's? Need your opinion........

Hello Everyone and happy New Year.
So I have been building my traders up and have been going to WDI and DSF and wanted to try for some pins they did not have so I went you know where (I thought we can say Ebay on this site)
Anyways, there was a Jessica pin I wanted because it is Magic themed. (I am a Magician for those of you who did not know) I also bid on some Jessica DSF pins (Decades Series) and first won the Magician pin and it was shipped and a couple of days later I won 6 of the 8 Jessica Decades pins.
When the magician pin which was a Disney Shopping LE250 showed up I was really upset because I could tell it was not a real pin. I then noticed the seller already had another one up for auction. Well, I waited to receive the Jessica Decades and many things did not look right.
I was comparing to pinpics and they just don’t look right. I noticed on the back that 4 of the 6 say Disney / Amblin Ent and 2 of them don’t. (1[SUP]st[/SUP] red flag) I then thought they would have better placement on the cards, they are nowhere near center and 2 of them are almost off the top. (2[SUP]nd[/SUP] red flag)
The artwork is not real clear either such as the eyes and features and the color might be off too (3[SUP]rd[/SUP] red flag) 3 strikes your out.
The thing that gets me is they are on official DSF backer cards and have price tags on them, then I thought to myself that on I think every pin I have ever gotten from DSF, the price is on the plastic sleeve, not on the card. (4[SUP]th[/SUP] red flag?)
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Maybe I am being too paranoid but I think they are all fake because I looked today and the same seller has the same pins for sale again. I did notice on the Jessica Magician pin it has that saying “Tradeable at the park†where the DSF said “NEW ON CARDâ€
I know there is another post but what about the back stamp saying different things? They should all be the same.
Later I searched their listings (sellers other items) and notices they sell scrapper lots too. I know just because you are holding the bloody knife does not mean you did it but what about all the evidence I have.
We should be allowed to name them. Please IM me if you have had this experience maybe with the same person and I will also let you know who this is and if we are on the same page.
I want to take action against this person.
Thanks and have a great new year everyone. Also, be sure to check my traders (other than the Jessica Decades series) I bought all the DSF and WDI pins personally and have gone through all my traders to remove any suspect pins.
I hope to trade with you soon.
Best Regards.

but they are still shown on card. Never the cellophane wrapping with the bar code on it though.
