    NBC Hidden Mickey Candy Corns - real vs. fake comparison

    Hi everyone! The 2010 Hidden Mickey pins featuring Nightmare Before Christmas characters are known to have fakes being pumped out from China, and I ended up with a fake set of Lock, Shock and Barrels courtesy of eBay. Lovely. But then I got my hands on some that are clearly authentic, so I...

    NBC Ornament scrappers vs. real. Photos and comparison and possible AP pin?

    Hey friends! So, in my quest to acquire all the pins of these little miscreants I frequently purchase pins on eBay. These pins in particular are tricky because there are very clearly many, many scrappers out there of Lock and Barrel, who - according to Pinpics - have known scrappers in...

    Good ebay sellers and ebay tips

    I was just wondering if anyone could PM me some good ebay sellers' usernames for pins. :). Also, I'm pretty sure I have asked this before, but what are some good ways to know if a pin is real or scrapper? Or when a pin is so cheap it can't be real. What's the price range when that happens...

    Variations Between Two Of The Same "Official" Pin

    Is it normal for two pins from the same store, in original packaging, etc., to have slight variations?

    Question about Hidden Mickey Duffy's Hats

    While I was at Disneyland with my sister a few weeks ago, she decided to start collecting the Hidden Mickey Duffy's Hat pins. I had a fair amount of them in my traders, and she found a few more out on the lanyards (including some rather obvious fakes). She's only missing four (make that two)...
