We are sorting through our pins and ran across these 2 pins and can't find them on Pinpics. Does anyone know the story behind these pins?
Thanks!

The pin on the left is the "Men and Women Believe Everything" pin that was released during the Disney event celebrating P.T. Barnum's birthday. During these festivities, guests were treated to such wonderful contests as 3-Card Monte, Pea Under the Shell, and my personal favorite, Who Wants to Be Conned. The pin was very well received. It sold for $150 since it was an error pin. See Mickey only has 3 fingers on each hand and his shoes are on the wrong feet. They only made 150,000 of these pins so the are fairly rare.

The pin on the right is another event pin. This one was introduced during the Men Idolizing Dustbusters 4 (MID-4) convention held at Disneyland in 1992. It depicts Mickey throwing dirt into the air so that Minnie will have to come behind him and clean it up using her Dustbuster. It's Magic Time in Anaheim refers to the new cleaning solvent that was introduced during the convention. This solution will eliminate crayon and marker stains from painted surfaces as if magically. The We Serve wording refers to those men and women who are professional house cleaners. As an added treat, Disneyland closed the park early on February 9th for C-Night which was a precursor to the now popular E-Night celebrations. Only guests holding a special C-Night ticket were allowed into the park. The number of tickets were limited to a subset of those at the MID-4 Convention. There were relatively no lines and those in attendance were allowed to *CLEAN* their favorite attractions (hence the C in the title of the event). It was a big success and guests at Disneyland the next day commented at how sparkling clean the parks looked and how they enjoyed that fresh pine scent.

Let me know if you need any additional information, I am sure I can come up with some.
