The quality of CM pins

[xPrincessEmilyx]

Hi everyone!
I was sad to see that this thread hasn't yet been posted in as I love DLRP and have been going there since I was in a buggy! I started pin trading there when I was only 10 years old, when pins began appearing there.

I do find one thing sad though, the state of the CM lanyards now compared to in past years. They have been accumulating scrappers, I reckon around 1 pin per 2 CM's, so every other staff member has a fake or scrapper pin. Its sad to see this happening at a place that is still magical and lovely to me today.

But I guess the best thing is that there is such a low number of these pins out there when compared to the US. I know its such a huge problem there in all the parks, but DLRP seems to have a lower issue with it. I managed to keep an eye out for scrappers and only came back with one (which is now a beautiful handbag charm), its just a shame that little kids will end up getting them on their lanyards.

In positive news, the amount of CM exclusive pins are high, which is fantastic! I have a beautiful Naveen the frog pin from my trip which I love!

So, has anyone else been to DLRP to do any trading?
