I also don't like confirming fakes via photo, but agree with
@TheMickeyMouseRules these would be types of pins I would avoid because they have been faked.
Some tells that can help weed out bad pins sooner
1. Pin 1 - are the nubs short or longer like usual? They look short to me in the photo. Any pin with those short half-height nubs are fake.
2. Pin 10 - I assume any pins from an International park are fakes. Except if you see a clearly Japanese person putting a Tokyo Disney Resort game prize pin on a lanyard (because those are what they bring for "cheap traders." But this one specifically, the back looks rough, and not cleanly stamped.
3. Pins 7 & 8 - These are old Hidden Mickey pins at these point. CMs do not have access to authentic versions of these to refresh their lanyards. Lots of people start out trying to collect older Hidden Mickey sets because they start to notice how some pins go together and want to make a set. But CMs pretty much only get refreshed with the current or previous year's series. Sometimes they find boxes in a closet, but then people on FB notice and start talking about it. People have recently chatted about finding 2020 pins in the rotation, but it's rare you are going to see really old stuff.
4. Pin 3 - look inside the Mickey ear logo, and the copyright logo. See how the pebble texture of the rest of the pin is inside the box? This is usually (but not often, it can be specific to a pin) a sign of a fake. This is the back of this Pluto pin from Pinpics. Notice how the texture inside those areas is smooth? Also notice the presence of nubs.

5. Pin 5 - Check photos on the 3 main database sites: PinPics, Pin & Pop, and MyPinCentral and look for color issues. Notice Tigger has a white nose on your pin, but if you check those sites you will see Tigger's nose is supposed to be pink.
Of these, the Tsum Tsum Tigger in Image 5, looks the best, but I'm not familiar enough with this set to know if the colors and details are right.
But I hope these clues help. A lot of it comes down to how a pin feels or sounds if you drop it. If you have some pins you bought directly from Disney, close your eyes and feel and play around with them. Then do the same with the pins you trade. Eventually, you can start to sense the differences.
