Fake or real clarification

[TheAlpacaQueen]

Hello all

I'm super new to pin trading, I have looked over some guides and such, but I just want to be 100% sure that they are real

I bought them both at a flea market.

Thank you all for reading ^ ^

They look pretty good to me but I'm not much of an expert. Love the world of color one

They definately pass the fake test, as the mickeys seem to be cut smoothly and on a sheet...as far as whether or not they are scrappers, that is really difficult to tell from a picture...if the gloss seems to be faded or dull in areas, that is an indicator...but it might also be due to age...that is what makes it so hard to tell if something is a scrapper or just old.

Thank you both very much for your help ^ ^

Unfortunately this can't always be used to tell if it's a fake or not anymore. It's not uncommon to find newly purchased pins with the pattern not fully reaching the edges. Quality control has definitely dropped.

Solid point a4matte, it is getting harder and harder to tell the difference between a real pin and a good fake.
