paranoid??
Okay, I have a few friends who work at/for WDW and they sometimes give me pins. I got about 20 today from one and said that he hadn't really taken care of them. They were thrown into a plastic bag with no pin backs. With all of these fakes out there I started looking at them and noticed that some of them have a LOT of scratches on the backs and a few where the paint is chipped off. Also, on one of them the green paint is a bit discolored in a few places.
Here's my dilemma. I know that I can trust him when it comes to giving me the pins, but could it be that he was traded fakes off of his lanyard for these?? Or could it be that because he really didn't take care of them and that the paint can come off??
I feel overly paranoid, but don't want to trade someone and it be a fake. I'd hate to get a bad reputation for trading non-quality pins!! I think that some of them might be what others are really looking for!
