Did I score my ISO or will I be crying?
I think I finally scored a real muppets LE pin I've been looking for. Does anyone have any thoughts? I can't seem to find this as a fake pin so I think it's real? Thanks for your thoughts!

It looks really good to me, but I will defer to the more knowledgeable pinners that we have here on DPF.
Thanks! It is lovely! I'm trying not to get too excited until others chime in.
I have this pin, purchased from WDW when it first came out. I think your pins looks good! Card matches the pin. Something to help your confidence in the future
While current factories and purveyors of fake pins know that savvy pin traders want pins on original cards, so they deliver pins on cards (not necessarily the right ones!) this was not really a thing until maybe the last 10 years ish (haven't really narrowed it down). The exceptions are Jessica pins from WDI or DSF / DSSH because those were *the* pins back until the proliferation of counterfeits turned people off from collecting Jessica. There are some other DSF pins that showed up on cards. Masterpiece Disney Auctions collection, probably something else I can't recall at the time. But the goal was to attract people willing to spend $$, and except the first year or so of pin trading and the nonsense of the last year or so that has never been a park based pin (POH, PODMs and Disneyland 50th Diamond Celebration pins as exceptions for interest levels).
If you were going to find a fake LE pin, especially a park LE pin it would not have a card. Doubly so, not to have a themed card like the Marquee Collection. So if the card is correct for that pin (match the SKU) it's a great sign. The only possible exception to this rule is there is a set from Disneyland called Disney Dreams and a few of those pins showed up on matching backers in volume from suspect eBay sellers. I suspect, but have not been able to verify, that Disney's original production run had some sort of error and had to be redone. So since they were produced as if they would be sold at Disneyland they have cards, with price tags, etc. and so when they were sold out the back door, they had the appropriate features.
I'll upload photos of my pin in a second...

I don't have any knowledge of this pin, but look good to me. ... tossing out another supportive opinion.
