My most treasure fox and the hound piece was destroyed from cleaning the back rust with the options getting from community sadly.
I be thinking if its ok to get a pin re made in a Chinese factory
I would asked to look the same and Disney quality. would that still make it fake ? I dont plan to re-sell or trade it
Friendship day 2008 fox and the houndI am sorry if you posted it elsewhere. What pin is it you are looking for?
how?How do you tell if it is a scrapper/counterfeit? I personally would wait for the pin to come around again on Ebay or hope someone will trade. If you pay $100 for a known unauthorized pin from the factory in China, the only difference then really of getting a scrapper/counterfeit pin from someone through ebay or a trade is the difference in price you paid. At least with getting it through Ebay or a trade you have a chance of getting a real pin.
I hope you find the pin and personally I would report that factory to Disney. They are doing everyone in the hobby a disservice by producing unauthorized pins.

Actually, this is a good point. At least scrappers are "real" Disney pins, they're just overruns that didn't meet Disney standards and were illegally sold. It's better than a counterfeit/remake. I'd rather have a scrapper than a fake.I would just keep a eye out for the real pin or a nice scrapper. Why would it matter what the pin is worth or if its perfect when the pin is just for your collection. JMHO
I think it's more of a morality issue. If you have a counterfeit pin created then there is a chance that this pin could someday wind up on the market again, and it would just be bad for people who only want authentic pins. We deal with enough scrapper and counterfeit problems as it is, so hearing about someone wanting to pay to make more is a bit disheartening, especially since the Chinese company would most likely make more than just the one you wanted.
I understand your sadness and frustration, but I can't support this idea myself. I would wait and find a real one.
did you not read the post before? Already found 2 on ebay since then .
