Monstropolis Most Wanted - Did I get duped?

[Magpie812]

Me again. Can't stay away from certain websites and feel like I might have bought a fake pin.

What has me questioning authenticity is the bordering of the ice-cream cones on the back. Now I am relatively new to all of this (about 3 weeks in) and know that bordering of Mickey's is indicative of scrapper/fake and was curious if the same was true for DSF pins.

If someone could help me out I would really appreciate it!

It's not uncommon for the cones on the back of DSF/DSSH to look that way. I've bought many directly from there that look like that.

Awesome! So chances are this is real, it looks and feels like an original...was just worried about the cones. Glad to know that my pin looks like many others directly from DSF. Thanks for the help.

Some examples ... PTD pins purchased by me directly from DSSH

Yep, all of my DSF pins have backs with the cones cut off like that as well.

Thanks everyone! Happy to know that it looks like this one is authentic! Love this pin so happy to add it to my board!!!!

Yeah, my ptd's also look like that on the back. thanks for posting this as I never noticed it, I would assume that the pattern like that would be a fake until now.
