Pins on EBay

[aussiemouse]

I won an auction for some pins to trade at the parks. Got them just fine and they are stamped on back with Disney, but they are discolored. The white on the front has yellowed in some places. (I got 7 of the same pin and the yellowing is different on each of them).
Now I'm not sure if I should/can trade them. Feel kinda bad to trade something that isn't up to par. But darn it, what am I gonna do with them???? Do people trade pins in any condition?

I dont know, I also got a lot from ebay, and a couple of them were suspect pins, imho, so I didnt let dd trade them! 1 was a Cinderella pin from the Disney store from the release of that dvd, one was a plastic Donald, and one was a Dalmation head, not in the same scope as the $6 pins that she would've traded for,

I will say that it wouldnt surprise me a bit if a CM did trade her these pins, I just didnt feel comfortable with it, I tried to use it as "teaching moment" for DD.

Some of the older Cloisonné pins discolor with age.
