Love pin trading!!!
However I'm now more selective and have cut back a lot on my pin trading. Now I do more buying than trading. I learned my lesson last trip after I ended up with so many pins I loved....only to find out many of them were scrappers
Had someone help me identify them. Can take the fun out of it when you're trading with CMs/parks/resorts and you get a bad pin. Although technically they're still "real", they are factory errors/scrap pieces. Can be tough to tell sometimes. Can be anything from thickness of the pin to missing paint/details, incorrect colors, etc
