pin ? for all you experts

[rmdavis]

hello guys and gals I just returned from a trip to disney world and while trading I managed to get a pin from Disney Cruise Line villains cruise ( I think is what it said) anyways it is Cruella but here is the question on the back it has a (AP) stamped into the back can anyone tell me if this means anything?

thanks

AP probably stands for Artist Proof, which means it's a preproduction proof made before the full run is made. Quite a find!

Which pin is it? Here's a link (http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/browse.cgi?type=a&cl1=on) to pinpics' search page.

found it on pin pics it is number 32546 so an artist proof is a good find/ rare find? a good addition to My new and growing collection?

Yes a very good find....normally less than 10 AP pins before the production run.

thanks for all the information ya'll...and believe it or not I actually found out after looking through My pins that I got 2 different ones of these pins with the ap stamped into the back... the villains cruise one and a tower of terror piece of disney history one... wooo hooo
