Counterfeit DSF Christmas Box Pins?
Hey everyone...
I've been browsing eBay and I've seen these pins on eBay so much for the past few months...
Pin 93086: DSF - Christmas 2012 Gift Box - Cheshire Cat
Pin 93087: DSF - Christmas 2012 Gift Box - Zero
Pin 93088: DSF - Christmas 2012 Gift Box - Jessica Rabbit
If you look at sold listings on eBay...
you will find that from May to August...
23 Cheshire's have been sold.
32 Jessica's have been sold.
22 Zero's have been sold.
Of the 23 Cheshire's sold, 12 of them were sold by the same seller. (If you want the seller name, I can PM you.) I have personally bought from this seller before, but not the Cheshire pin, but the pins I did receive were scrappers.
16 of the Jessica's were also sold by the same seller with the 12 Cheshires.
and Finally...
Zero was sold by the same seller 11 times of the 22.
Each of those pins had about half the pins sold by the same seller.
Now on to comparison....
Here is the pin the eBay seller has used as a stock photo to sell the 12 Cheshires
[
The gold accents on the pin seem to be more shiny on the right one (Pinpics picture). Im not sure if it's the picture, but the eBay picture looks more silver than gold. On the eBay picture, Cheshire's stripes are more purple-pink than the ones on the right. The colors of Cheshire seem to be off a bit.
For Jessica...

For the Jessica, her dress seems more red in the eBay picture than the Pinpics picture. Also, her sleeves are a bit different in color between the pictures. In the ebay picture, her hair looks almost the same color as her Santa hat, but in the pinpics picture, you can see the variation in color.
As for Zero, the pinpics picture is just concept art, so I can't really compare at the moment...
Please comment below to let me know what you think? Am I just being paranoid or is this really some counterfeits coming into play?
Thanks!
