Absolutely, but I warn you . . . the flag icons are addictive. They can be a very slippery slope. Stay tuned for a post specifically about them sooner than later! I'm working on them a lot and just getting all the listings updated and linked correctly, etc. Once I feel like I have them all sorted out, I'm going to post about them, as they are pretty cool!

Yes all are fake.

A quick reply to say that we have adjusted the Submit-a-Pin board to require members to have a forum-post count of three posts to be able to submit a pin. We have a small team dedicated to adding pins to the database, and we appreciate everyone who helps the site grow. When you submit a pin, please make sure that the pin is not already listed in the database. Duplicate submissions are deleted. If you're not sure, feel free to post pictures of your pin in the Pin ID board where a number of members will be glad to assist in searching. If your pin is not in the database and you decide to submit, please check out our Photo Guidelines and make sure that all your images match what we need. Thanks so much!

Thanks to @TheTwins for making these Mickey icon flag series lists. I have one of each World Showcase flag pin, but I need to update which versions I have of each. Time to bust out the books and play with pins!

That's a great question, and @buzz2001 and I were just talking about this the other night with his flag pins! Actually, yes -- there are a LOT of different versions when it comes to some of the flag icon pins. We're actually in the middle of making some series lists to help out with these pins. If you're collecting USA flag Mickey-icon pins, then we're compiling a clickable list for any in the database. You can check that out here: And if you're looking for specific versions of the original eleven-pin Mickey Icon Flag set that was released for the World Showcase countries, then I've been working on a Pin Series List for those, as there are quite a number of different backstamps for all of those. Here's a link to that, which includes a key at the top to explain what is different with each version. And just a quick note for everyone reading this -- It's important to double-check the back of your pin whenever you're cataloging. If you end up with a pin which appears to have a different backstamp than any listed in the database, feel free to ask about it in the PIN ID board. If it's not in the database, please submit it! We are working to get different versions listed, since it's important to know which pin you are trading/cataloging. A different backstamp is anytime that the words/logos/info changes, except that we do not create listings when the only thing that changes is the small date in the Official Pin logo on the back. Many pins were produced over multiple years, and only the date changed.

Yes, the ones at the bottom that look similar on the front have different backs and years.

@buzz2001 I liked your Mickey head flag board. Are the pins that are similar have a different backstamp? I got that with my Alice pins, same pin design but different backstamp.

No trade matches here.

I don't currently have anything you are looking for, but you are more than welcome to look! I have had that happen to me on numerous occasions.

I don't have any pins you're looking for, sorry!

Congrats John!! Always a pleasure to trade with you! Steven

I have a 10-day policy when I send out a trade request, 10 days later I message them to let them know the pin is going back into trade rotation. A lot of people get busy, have nerves about responding with a no thanks, or simply aren't active and forgot to turn off trade assist. That said, I don't seem to have anything you're after, but I wish you luck in future trade endeavors!

I'd love to participate!

Happy Valentine's Day! We've got a special game that will lock at 3:00am EST on February 15th. Vote in the poll here to earn five PinPics points and get a Limited Edition profile badge! Question: Which Disney Princesses have not appeared on Valentine's Day pins listed in the PinPics database? (This is a multiple-choice game, so you may select one or more princesses!) Replies are held for moderation, that way no one gives away the correct answer. The answer will be posted and points/badges awarded to players on February 15th.

Yes please!

Let it snow! Seriously, you can send all the crazy snow here, we need it! And I would love to participate!

Sign me up please! Ty.

Sign me up, these are always fun.

Been a while since we did one of these five-pin exchanges, so let's have some Winter fun and start the new year off with a fun away-from-the-parks exchange! Since this polar storm has parked itself over our house and it is sitting at -20F below . . . Frozen Ever After seemed like a good title to christen this exchange! So, if you aren't in the frozen part of the world, feel free and say "Let it snow" and if you are in the frozen part of the world, then feel free and say "Let it go"! Sign-ups are limited to ten (10) participants in USA only. We will mail a bubblewrap envelope with five pins packed inside to the first randomly chosen participant. That member trades for however many they want (trades are a 1-for-1 swap and are OE, HM, mystery, Loungefly, etc.) and then mails the package to the next person. At the end, the package is sent back to @TheTwins with the pins that have been swapped into the package. So, sort of like a chance to do a lanyard trade for up to five pins. Package should usually cost around $6 to mail (if you use an online postage label service like pirateship.com). Five Pin Exchange – (OE, Loungefly, Hidden Mickey/Disney, Mystery box/bag pins) Basics: - After the mailing order is posted, send your mailing address to the person listed above and below your name. - As the name suggests - Five pins arrive in the package and should leave in the package (OE, HM, mystery, Loungefly, etc.). - No scrappers, please. If you can't tell or the pin is more often scrapped, please don't include it. - You may select none or up to all five pins - replace the number selected with your traders and send on to the next in line. - Each person must post a photo of the pins they kept in this thread (but not what they are sending on in the package). Part of the fun with these exchanges is seeing what everyone selects. - ZAPs may be included, limited to the next person in line (to keep shipping reasonable for everyone). The person who receives the package from you should be as excited to open it as you were… so please trade with that in mind.

Agree, all three are duds. In the older (pre 2020) if the waffle pattern doesn't go all the way to the edge, it is a good indication the pin is not authentic. After 2020 the qa/qc process got lax and new pins can be authentic even if the waffle does not go all the way to the edge.

They do look like fakes to my eyes. The metal is too rough.
