Tangled marquee value Increases.

This may make me unpopular but I subscribe to the theory that there is more paranoia than there are scrappers and counterfeits. When a committee has to really closely examine a pin and the "consensus" is that it's a fake, then folks are looking to hard for the boogeyman with the counterfeits.

Now I'm not stupid. I know there are bad pins out there. I have a fake LE Jessica pin I got off a cast member lanyard before the real pin was ever released. I just think there are not as many as people fear. And by putting an alert on the Tangled Marquee pin, it justifies people's claim that the pin is not worth what it should be.

That thread was from 2010. It's now 2012 and there has been no influx of any of those pins flooding the markets. The poster themselves seem to question if these pins were being scrapped. After two years with no evidence, I still call bogus on the scrapper alert. It's common sense folks. If these pins had been scrapped, there would be a glut of them out there. You'd be seeing Tangled Marquee auctions consistently. It's not happening, therefore, there are most likely no scrappers out there.

That doesn't necessarily mean they don't exist. There are several pins with unauthorized versions where the market hasn't been flooded with them. Some of the DA Masterpiece pins for example. Or the Stitch with Dalmatian puppies and the other pins that seller is selling with missing holograms. It could mean that the pins that were being offered in that email were partially some overruns which would still be unauthorized/scrappers but quantities wouldn't be abundant.

is it bad that I sorta wish that there was a ton of scrappers of this pin, so I could easily get one...
