Pin panel this fri eve general info!!!

Can you talk about what to expect at a Pin trading event? For example:

- How to prepare
- How it generally works
- How to display your pins
- Pros and Cons of having a table

Also, I keep hearing about scrappers. It makes me so nervous. As a newbie, I don't want to inadvertently make a pin trading faux pax. And I haven't gotten good enough yet to really tell which are real and which are fake.

I also don't 100% understand the whole fake/scrapper thing. Say your pin has a flaw in it, does that automatically make it a scrapper? For instance one of my favorite Mike Wazowski pins has bubbles on the surface. Does this mean it should have been scrapped by the factory or was it a quality control oversight?

I've even bought pins from Disney that are rack and limited editions that have had dings, paint dips and rough edges. Does that mean I shouldn't ever trade them even though they are legitimately Disney pins? Or is it okay as long as I notify the other trader of the errors and they are fine with that?

Really appreciate you all doing this! I'm going to try to figure out the chat feature now. See you soon!
