If a pin is created for every park but the back of this pin has different park stamps on it should they be under the same pinpics number with a multiple origin and just a quick explanation that they may say DLP or 2001 pintrading like WDW???

Example...

PinPics #7335 is from DLP and the exact same pin except for what is on the back #8296 is from WDW

What do you guys think?

I think you should list them under the same pinpic number. I know that I have read some threads where people are confused about a pin because of it being just like another from a different park, the only difference as you said is the back stamp. It may cut down on the confusion by listing the various back stamps on the same number.
 
I think the description should be changed to stae that "this pins was available at DL, WDW etc." Don't think there should be multiple entries for what is essentially the same pin. Now if there is a difference in size, color, plating etc. then yes there should be a separate entry.
 
I know we have all seen the same thing happen between WDW and DL pins.
I think part of the confusion is between the different description titles listed for the pin. Sometimes they are very different. (Or even a misspelled title.)
I could see where Pin 5702: Pumba as a Roats Pig could be relisted. I think the person meant Roast, not Roats. And someone else might list this as Pumba with an apple in his mouth. Or something to that effect.
But I agree, the same pin can be listed once, with a notation the backstamp may be different. I think that is the case with many pins.
 

I would say have them under the same pinpics # and an explanation in the description. Would it be possible to add a letter to the pin number in the descriptions depending on the park? For example, pin 7335 is available at all parks, but call the one from WDW 7335-A, the one from DL 7335-B, and so on. This is how comic book price guides differentiate between different printings or cover variations of a single issue.
