Pocahontas retired core pin- How can I indentify if she's a scrapper?

[Moondance]

So recently I traded my cousin that I've had for a while, and now I miss her and I'd like one for myself.

I became informed that there are scrapper variations of this pin, How do I know which is a scrapper and which is the real deal?

 

[Moondance]

Bump- need an answer.

Which pin are you talking about? I'm not sure which one you are referring to.

Oops thought I added the image, there it is!

I know this doesn't exactly answer your question but I'm pretty sure someone is selling it in the sellers forum! I'll have a look through now for you.

Edit: Yup! And for only $3! http://disneypinforum.com/showthread.php?7857-Another-3-pin-sale...lots-of-different-stuff!

As a side note, do you have any interest selling pin 12951?

You know what Patrick? I was intending to trade that Jane away, hopefully for a pin I'd really like- but you were so nice to find me a Pocahontas pin, I'd be very happy to sell to you! Unless you'd trade me for that John Smith pin you have, or know anyone who has one!! (which would really make my day, since the only john smith core pin is on ebay for $15 >_>!!!!!!!

Feel free to send me a PM

What makes you think there are scrappers??? I don't see a warning on the Pinpics listing.

Actually there are a number of pins on publics that do not have warnings but have scrappers. Publics is updated by members so not everyone has time to update the information. :-(Vicki

Thanks Vicki!!

Ok, I get that, but that doesn't really answer my question. What makes anyone think that this particular pin has scrappers? Did you hear it from someone? Was that person a knowledgeable and reliable source? Did they see a scrapper for themselves or hear it from someone else? And if it is someone else, how do they know?

I'm just asking because there seems to be a lot of scrapper hysteria lately. I realize it is a problem and people are cautious, but not every pin is scrapped. When you really look at the numbers, very few pins are actually scrapped. Yes, there are tons and tons of scrappers, but not of tons and tons of different designs when you look at how many designs have actually been released. I'd just like to know the reason for all the concern on an older rack pin that is not a hidden Mickey and has no warning.

+1, I see this all the time in the park and on pinpics. Drives me nuts. People get a pin that has maybe just a slight color variation, or just a little bit of a brush stroke, and they freak out and post all over pinpics "scrapper alert, scrapper alert!!!" People need to relax.
