Hey,
I recently dusted my old collection off and when looking through them found a pin that looks a little odd!
I visited both Disney resorts between 10-15 years ago on numerous occasions and brought a few pins but don't remember doing much trading however, I must have due to this pin I've found!

It looked a little odd to me; with pinpics down it's been hard on a newbie to find much info but I think its from DisneyStore Japan, part of a 'Walt 100 century' pin series. Other photos I have managed to find on google also look a little bit odd like mine.
Wondering if anyone has this pin/can say if its a scrapper or legit. The back looks weird but also the back looks weird on two others I've found on google!
Thanks
 
This was from the Countdown to the Millennium series (the Fotoball backstamp gives that away, since as far as I know pins from this series were the only ones to have this stamp). They were sold through the Disney Store in 1999. I have not heard of any pins from this series being scrapped/faked, and this Mickey pattern is consistent with other pins from this series, so I am pretty confident in saying this pin is legit.

I found that I can search for pins on pinpics as long as I don't try to log in, so I was able to find this on there:

Thanks so much for your help! I think I made the mistake of trying to log into PinPics! Pleased its legit


And we also will have it listed soon on PTDB!

You can use any of my pictures for PTDB if you need to but I cant get close ups and pics of the back until I'm round my parents next!
