Hi! To me this pin looks pretty good! Like the others said the back looks right to me with the ice creams and stuff! Also from the pic it looks in good condition! Hope this helps!

Looking at your pin, I feel like it actually looks okay -- though I'm not familiar with it, in particular. The "streaks" are actually just rubbing wear to the enamel, and that happens on a lot of pins. Totally normal for one that has been traded and worn on a lanyard. These pins are not very large, and the back actually looks pretty good. They tend to be a bit messy compared to larger, higher-quality releases. Using Google image search is only good if you know that the results returned are good pins. Most pin photos floating around can be hard to verify. I would wait to see if someone who is familiar with these pins comes forward to offer advice. ~ Sarah

As a newbie to pin trading PinPics has been invaluable to me. First of all I can’t remember all my pins, which I want to trade and which additional ones I want. Secondly, I have read over and over on how to tell authentic pins from fake pins but I still don’t trust myself to be able to tell the difference. I trust that I will have better luck trading on PinPics than in the Parks or on FB so I do most of my trading on PinPics. I do realize that I can’t generally tell the value of the pins even though I look them up on eBay sold when available so I really appreciate everyone’s patience, help, and instruction. The “Tone at the top” contributes to that helpfulness for sure. THANK YOU ALL for making this a marvelous experience.

Hi! I replied to your post yesterday, but I think it was removed because I included an external link. IMO your pin is not real because the paint on the front is streaky and the back side writing is not clear (unless it's the photo). Use Google image and you will find photos of the authentic version to compare to. I hope this helps! Kim

Thank you! My nephew picked it up for me at Aulani when he was in Hawaii on business

Many thanks for maintaining and expanding this wonderful database.

Oh, that is the cutest Olu pin. Congratulations on some great pin mail!

For anyone attending this weekend, see you there!

Have a great trip Terry. I believe pin trading is still in the alley circled below.

Hey folks. Interested in your opinions on this pin that I recently acquired in a trade (not on this platform). The pin just doesn't look right to me, but I can't put my finger on why. Thanks in advance!

I wish I was going to be there! Have a great time!

We will be at WDW and would love to meet up with other PinPics members while we are there. We are staying at Pop Century. Does anyone know where they are trading pins at HS now? Have a great day! Terry

Oh wow, thank you for all the information, it is greatly appreciated!

Some recent pin mail Received the Birds of Disney Hidden Mickey pins in a trade with @chaith1. Thanks again for a great trade!

Hi - I'm new here and have done a few trades. I'm hoping for help determining if any of these pins are real. My kids and I traded for them all at WDW over the past several years, before even knowing fakes existed. I suspect many or all are not real, but looking for expert guidance. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I want to say thank you all of you all involved in running and maintaining PinPics! This is my favorite pin site! It has been my saving grace during this hectic time in the world. I love pin trading and meeting such nice people and getting wonderful Disney pins I never thought would be possible, and I love exploring all the Disney pins that I have never seen before! This website has been such a bright light in my life and has helped me avoid the stresses of social media, and I can’t thank you all enough for all you do! You are doing such a great job and us Disney fans really appreciate you!

Thanks Molly, Joe, Sarah, Elizabeth, Ken, Dean, Mario and Mike! You are all soooo appreciated!!

Great! Thanks! Gonna get these added now, then. I appreciate that!!

Released on March 16, 1996, Muppet Treasure Island is an adaptation of the classic 1883 novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson directed by Brian Henson and produced by Disney. There is a limited edition merchandise collection available from Mickey’s of Glendale, the exclusive store of Walt Disney Imagineering, in partnership with The Muppets Studio and is only available to ship to the United States. Looks like it was rereleased on 3/16 and everything sold out except the t-shirt and hoodie which are still available to order.

That definitely wasn't in the database, but thanks! We've added it, and here's the link:

Hi! You posted in the perfect place. It's just that verifying some of these older Hidden Mickey pins can be difficult through one photo. I do have a complete set of authentic FastPass pins, so let me see about pulling them out and photographing them in the next day or two. That would give you a good base to use to decide whether you think your pins are good. The thing with Cast Lanyard/Hidden Mickey pins is that there were often multiple factories producing the pins. It is totally common for a pin to have color variances, enamel issues and production differences. The color differences in your purple there are not surprising. Let me dig mine out and photograph them! Sarah

Looking these up online, it turns out that this release was sold on the 13th as advertised. All orders were then cancelled, and no new release date has been announced. These will be added to the database as soon as more information is available.
