First off, let me just say this is all partially my own fault. My girlfriend and I were at Disneyland doing some pin trading, when I saw an open edition pin I needed. The only pin the owner saw of mine that he wanted was an Le 300. So I asked if he'd do one LE and the OE for my LE 300. He said yes and we made the trade. Hours later, I took a good look at the LE I traded for, and *BAM* it was fake. Now I know a lot of you put your pins on cards, even if it's not the original one (which was done with the fake pin I traded for). I figured, it's still on the card, and therefore must be real. I didn't examine the pin as well as I usually do because, stupidly, I just trusted the trader. Now you can see how I have some blame in the trade. It's just a frustrating situation. Having done more trading in the parks recently, I'm seeing more and more fakes in people's pin books. Very disheartening. At least I got one pin, a real one, I really wanted. I just wanted to vent and talk to some other pin folks about it. Time to go throw that pin away.
