So recently while browsing that infamous auction site I saw someone listed the Dumbo's Car Wash Pin that is supposed to be released in August in California. I looked to see where the person was from and it said China. Even though they had picture of the front and back of the pin I knew that anything from China may be a fake so I dismissed it. Then today another person lists the pin with a picture of the pin on a LE backing card. So I looked to see who this other person was that was selling this pin that wasn't supposed to be out yet. This other person is the person I had bought my first pin from when I got into pins. After being on here for a while and learning about fakes/scrappers I know that the pin I bought from this person is fake but when I left feedback I had left positive because I didn't know better back then. So I believe that these unreleased Dumbo's Car Wash Pins already have fakes going around. Also, on PinPics and the picture that Disney released for the pin the backing card for the Dumbo pin is blue which I'm pretty sure is the same backing card that will be released with the pin. But I'm pretty sure these are part of the Gear Up For Adventure Car Show Pins that people have to try and enter to get chosen for a wristband to buy. Has anyone in the California area seen these for sale and can prove my theory wrong?
 
It does look sketchy. I bet someone in China got a hold of the true scrappers (the pins produced during Disney's order that ended up kicked out for quality control or were not needed because they got 500 that passed controls). Note to self: only get this pin if it comes with Gears for Adventure card.
 
Yeah, I'm gonna hope that some people on here get picked for the wristbands to buy the real pins and will sell them to some of us on here.
 
When you report the auction to ebay what do you say? Just that these pins haven't been released yet and they are fake?
 
This makes me mad . . . i have reported the items to ebay and would encourage u to do so as well . . . . so that hopefully ebay will pull their auction.
Reported only the black card and said it was counterfeit, unauthorized. Also stated it is to be on a blue card. The other one they can say oh it was a presale, but the black card is unauthorized.
