Has this series been faked? / Are these pins fake?
Hi! I have two questions regarding fakes...
1) Has the Disney Dream Destinations series been faked? I've seen them on eBay for pretty low considering the retail price and how nice this series is, and many of the listings don't include a backing card. So I'm a little wary, especially since I'm seeking two pins from this series (BH6 & Peter Pan, the latter of which I may have found, provided I don't have to worry about fakes). If it has a backing card, is it likely to be okay, assuming my fears about this series aren't unfounded? ^^;
2) I'm pretty sure the following two pins are fakes (or at least the first one; the 2nd I'm strongly suspicious), but I just wanted to have it confirmed once and for all by someone who is more knowledgeable about these particular ones:
a) Pin 53634 Snow White in the Haunted Woods - Snowglobe Set (Pin Only) (supposedly)
The image on PinPics has glitter, and mine doesn't have that...
b) Pin 125020 DS - September 2017 Park Pack - Flower Frame - Version 3 - Queen Of Hearts
(I will try to get a better pic of the back if I can.)
Considering the Alice set, being the first and one of the nicest, was probably hard to trade for, and there were fakes being made of the set fairly quickly, I've always been rather suspicious of this pin I traded for. But I never could figure out the telltale sign, unlike the Ariel waves frame pin I've been seeking, where there was an obvious difference. I traded for this pin back in late November - early December 2017, so I dunno if that was already too late to have escaped the wave of fakes that soon circulated.
Any help or insight would be appreciated!
And this thread is open for other pin posts if anyone else has similar inquiries about possible fakes of their own or of series they're seeking. ^^
