Hi everyone! I started collecting pins from 2002 to 2012 at WDW. I took a long hiatus but have started back up in 2024. Had no idea there were fake pins going around and got fleeced at the park/resort pin boards until someone educated me on modern trading. Obviously a lot has changed since I was a kid! I really got into the hidden mickey mystery series lately. Trying to collect the DLR pins as well.

Cheers
 
Welcome to DPF!

The fakes were around starting ~2005ish (from what I have learned), so fakes have been a 'thing' for awhile.

Hidden Mickey/Disney pins are a favorite of mine. Its also where I started with this hobby 12 years ago.

Where do you trade?
 
Hi ya, nice to have you join! Love a good hidden Mickey hunt - do you have a favorite from the upcoming releases set for later in the summer? Iā€™m a big fan of the Disneyland D series and want to stay as complete as humanly possible! šŸ¤£
 
I think @hopemax has photos of the fakes.
