Fake Pins Not a Problem

[trogdor]

Just throwing a question out there,
Am I the only one who doesn't really care about the fake/scrapper pins? I do pin trading to look for cool pins and interact with the CMs not to accumulate any monetary value. Am I the only one who feels this way or is it just the few "pin sharks" I've talked to making me feel like an anomaly?

I don't think you have to be a "pin shark" to care about fakes/scrappers/counterfeit pins. I don't collect pins to make money; I only trade for ones I like, but I try to avoid trading for fakes/scrappers/counterfeit pins. By the same token, I try not to use fakes/scrappers/counterfeit for trading with CMs. I don't think you're an anomaly by not caring about fakes/scrappers/counterfeit (plenty of others don't care also, either because they don't know about the issue or because it doesn't matter to them), but the folks that do care also aren't anomalies or just the professional collectors.
