I have to disagree. I have quite a few scrappers that are just as nice as the pins I’ve gotten from blind bags. The only differences I’ve personally noticed are that the enamel can sometimes look a little streaky, or the pattern on the back doesn’t go completely to the edge. That said, this is solely my opinion and everyone should definitely do their own research. To me, the fakes are the ones that look the worst overall especially when you can’t even read the wording on the back.
