Another mystery for pin sleuths....

[HeatherFeather]

I traded for this pin at WDW last week and can't find it on pinpics. The word on the left ski is almost totally illegible but I think it may be an Italian place name. Can anyone help?
Also, last time I tried to add a pin to pinpics it wouldn't work no matter how I resized my image. Does anyone have any hints?
Thanks!

Hi Heather
I am looking all over for it,can you see any other letters on it

It's a pin handed out or sold at the 2007 Trofeo Topolino. It's a children's skiing event in Italy. Topolino is what the Italians call Mickey Mouse.

Sosai X: Okay, I'm amazed that you managed to find that information.

HeatherFeather: I did a search on PinPics for Topolino - found a few pins, but not this one. Couldn't find it with a search for mickey mouse either (and that's a LOT of pins to go through). I'd say you've got one that's not yet on pinpics. Good luck adding it (I have no idea how to do that).

Wow, the pin looks a lot older than 4 months. Haha.

ETA: I just saw the date above, and thought you were saying it was from this year, but now that I looked on the website, I see that it is from a past year (It looks like it says "46", which would mean 2007).

I also tried searching for "ski", "Trentino", and "Valsugana", with no luck. I'm sure if someone had added it, they would have put at least one or two of those words in the description.

Thanks for all the help....the right ski definitely says Topolino Sport. It looks like the left ski is an 8 letter word and may begin with P-A. The main searches I did were Mickey skiing or Mickey skis. Didn't see it at all. I will try to add to pinpics but I am not hopeful. They just don't like to upload my images.

Does it make me a pin dork when I am excited to find a pin not already on there?

 

[PixarPerils]

Does it say "46" or "47" on the second line on the right ski? If it says "46" it is the 2007 pin as listed on Sosai X's website. If it says "47", it is the 2008 pin on the site. So you could just use that picture (it would probably be a better picture for PinPics anyway).

 

[tiggermickey]

YES but if she wants to trade it though...as it looks alittle scuffed up,I think I would just add it myself
if you can that is

I would trade for it though..

 

[HeatherFeather]

I managed to add it but the photo is horrible...they limitations on KB size do not lend to good pics or I can't figure out how to make it look good. I really don't see a date but maybe it was under the word on the left ski. I am open to trade it for pretty much anything if you want it, Judy.

 

[tiggermickey]

What would you need?I have nothing on your want list..that would be Ok for trade

If the picture on pinpics looks bad, try sending that one that you posted here, to Dom or someone on the Pinpics staff and have them resize it.
