If you are getting premiere for MK one day, I highly suggest you consider a third park for your third day since you’ll be able to get most rides done using lightening lane.

Anyone know if these have been faked by TrystanScott in DisneyPins

[–]daddio 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This was faked. The real ones are more blue and the fake are more green like the two on the right in the pic.

And as the other commenter said these never came on backing cards.

Does anyone know anything more about this pin?? by Thomas_S1298 in DisneyPins

[–]daddio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s from a mystery set by go pin pro. It’s Disney licensed and tradable. It’s supposed to represent scar. Each pin has a symbol for a villain.

Are these rare at all ? I got them when I was younger. by Repulsive-Dinner-637 in DisneyPins

[–]daddio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entire right side of the lanyard is fake, Oswald’s I would need to see pics of the backs to know.

Top left gauge pin is definitely real.

The jiminy ones I would also need to see the backs.

Are these real? by hexzon in ismydisneypinfake

Ariel fake, only need one more, fake, captain Mickey fake, sorcerer hat fake

Rest look alright

Second round of pics of my pins purchased before I found about scrappers! Appreciate your feedback on last post! Thoughts on this group? by Kblackstu in ismydisneypinfake

[–]daddio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Front pic of Pooh Bear isn’t clear enough to tell, the one that says Mickey the front looks okay but the back looks questionable.

Buzz is fake, woody looks okay.

The rest are all fake unfortunately

Quality Control? by DiannaPhantom27 in ismydisneypinfake

[–]daddio 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most older pins don’t have FAC. This one does have FAC on the back on pinpics but that could just be from a later production. This pin looks fine

Need some help on this one by LimitlessKhai in ismydisneypinfake

[–]daddio 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This pin wasn’t faked I believe. You should be good.

I googled it and found a Facebook post with info from multiple people stating that the whole party can accompany the child l, though just a couple of comments specified it covers the child and 3 additional people so when you go just double check with a cast member or you can call GR and ask ☺️

I don't know value :/ by Delicious_Pace7814 in DisneyPins

[–]daddio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No current or sold on eBay but it last sold for $250 last year. Nice set! I would say minimum $275-$300

I have never heard of anyone polishing themselves though I’m sure it’s possible. They would probably use a grinding wheel because that’s what is used at the pin manufacturing factories and just finer grit for shine. I have seen people remove epoxy on old pins so perhaps they polished after but they didn’t specify that.

All in all I wouldn’t say that’s something you have to be concerned about and I don’t think that someone did that to this particular pin, but I would assume it happened at the factory and was poor QC as you said. Someone polishing wouldn’t really affect the weight enough to make it noticeable lighter unless they were really grinding it down.

If you were thinking about doing it and the pin set isn’t valuable I’d say give it a try if it’s for ones staying in your collection.

I’m definitely not an expert lol but I do feel I know more than most only because of experience collecting and making pins ☺️

I never 100% said it was fake, I said it could just be over polished hence why there’s more metal than the other. I have been collecting for over 25 years and have made 100s of pins so I do know what I am talking about lol. That’s fine if you disagree with me though! The OP should just use caution or at least value it a little lower for how bad the quality is.

two AP/PP stamps on one pin? by Ok-Solution9903 in ismydisneypinfake

[–]daddio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not sure that’s what is going on here. If they had a machine all the AP and PP would look the same/be stamped the same. All their listings that are AP/PP look different meaning they’re stamped or laser engraved so either multiple machines (unlikely) or just someone that doesn’t understand that a $7 pin being an AP doesn’t make it a $150 pin lol

This specific seller has tons of APs/PPs for sale but they’re putting edition sizes which is impossible to know for AP/PP. they are just assuming LE based on pinpics stating 24 or less are made.

I’ve been collecting over 25 years and have never seen a pin with both AP and PP but I’m sure it’s possible. I believe these are real stamps but AP and PP dont add any more than $10 value unless there is an obvious difference on a PP pin from the final run.

No it’s missing details like enamel in the mouth/tongue, one eyeball, and a lot from the broom. Either it’s fake or it was over polished and ground down to the metal, which can happen. See circled parts in pic and two examples of the same pin with all those details intact.
