help spotting a scapper pin

[TARAMEOW]

Hello I am new to trading and wanted to check if the only pin I ever traded for from a CM was a scrapper to know what to look for...

Ani insight would be great

PinPics doesn't have any scrapper alerts for it (Pin #67324) and although the photo of the back is not very good, it looks like an authentic pin to me.

I would say it is the real deal.

Great thank you I feel like I won the loto

That's a nice pin too!

That's a cute pin, it does appear to be real. Do the Mickey Heads go all the way off the back? If so then you're good.

 

[TARAMEOW]

They do

Then you're good.

I don't know anything about AE. Could it have been AP? An AP stamped into the back of a pin indicates that it is the Artist Proof of that pin.

Maybe that was it and it was just misunderstood.

Sorry I don't know what an AE would be either.....

I am sure that he meant AP..which means artist proof...
and..they are more valuable.

yes they are but they are aren't on cast lanyards very often....DD10 has 1 and that's all we found on any of our trips.....

well..I think that is why he told her to look for them..not..that he had any...
they are very hard to find.

It must have been ap not ae. this was coming from my 9 yr old. The Cm told him to look for them.

Just saying, this isn't true for all pins. I have a scrapper of this pin: http://pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=67580&sid=5772.1281922973.v2. I sent it to a pin trader who has the entire set including many scrappers after that, and he is 99% sure it's a scrapper, and so am I. There are dimples in the enamel, and it is shinier than all of the authentic pins from the set. The mickey heads do go off the entire way.

The pin you have does seem real though! I really like it, and I'll be sure to look for it.

 

[pixiewings71]

Oh that's a cool pin!! I like that one a lot.

But I will say that I still feel that many legit pins have dimples in the enamel. As I've said previously, we purchased a lot of the Cars LE pins from PT Flea in DCA, http://pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=68489&sid=6721.1281928679.v2 and they all have dimples, right out of the packages........if I had seen them on a lanyard or from a trader I would have guessed scrapper, but since I bought and paid for them I know they aren't.
