So I'm verifying my collection and organizing it in preparation for trading and selling and I came across pin 52787 which I have had for a very long time. It was then that I realized that mine was not black but gold. There is a listing for a gold artist proof number 67087, but it says that it will be back stamped with an "AP" which I do not see. What I'm not sure about is either if the listing is wrong, or if maybe I have a preproduction that isn't stamped, or maybe I just have a fake pin from a trade like 6 years ago. I'm going to attach a copy of the back of the pin here for y'alls comments and feedback, let me know what you think.
I can't seem to figure out how to attach the pic, I can't login to photo bucket on the laptop, on on my phone, and I can't seem to get the link or whatever. And Google seems to only give a url. So, I think I just have to leave this alone for a bit. I'll try again later.
According to the PinPics listing, it's supposed to have a gold back (I bolded the description where it says gold finished). So, I guess my question is, what is the issue? I see the PinPics picture makes it look like it's outlined in black instead of gold but maybe that's just the angle of the picture? Or is that the concept art?
Thank you so much for your help! My bad! I was just working on so many pins, that I guess I looked at the two pictures the one being obviously gold and the other not so much. That definitely answers the question for me!
Just as a reminder, when photographing pins, the outlines often look black in the photograph. So it's always important to read the description (and why it's important to write good descriptions). Scanning pins often does weird things to the colors too. Which is why some Ebay pictures look so awful, but are probably actually good pins (I've gotten a few good deals that way).
