Clean-up - Need to change the numbers

While cleaning things up, I realized that two pins were counted as new identifications, and were marked as "unknown," are actually known pins, which means they have been double counted.  Rather than redo all the subsequent posts. I am just going to use this post to drop the counter by two pins.  So we're at:

Total pins identified: 2072

I might go back and change all the posts later on.  So then the counter may not look like it dropped.

EDIT 7/27/2013:  Yep, I'm redoing all the numbers.

EDIT: 7/29/2013:  Good thing too. I made some math errors that I'm not sure quite what I was doing.  I should be through the clean-up in 2 more days.  I'm in the Dizpins image section now.

EDIT:  7/30/2013:  Really good thing. I realized I skipped a couple of pins altogether.  So our current number is:

Total pins identified: 2078

I've now gone through the "heavy duty" clean-up of the site.  The number is hopefully correct, but with such a large project, it wouldn't be surprised if there are still more errors.  I have a few more housekeeping steps that will hopefully reveal any additional issues.  And I want to finish them, before I add any more new images.

Next up, building the sub-lists like Hidden Mickeys, Vinylmation, etc.

EDIT 7/31/2013:  So I didn't get very far when I realized that the numbers were still messed up.  In the very early stages, I was relying on my memory to pick out the duplicates, and I missed a bunch. So pins were marked as new when they shouldn't have been.  Then there was a pin I didn't enter at all.  I think the numbers are correct now.  Or at least the couple different ways I ran through them, all add up to the same number.  So finally:

Total pins identified: 2067

EDIT 8/1/2013:  And one more change.

Total pins identified: 2066

Clean-up

Now that the Dizpins images are done, I've been working on cleaning up the nomenclature and the format of the blog posts.  I've started with the oldest blog posts and am currently working my way forward in time.  At the time of this post, I've updated 32 posts.  So about 1/6th of the way done.

This phase will probably take about 2 weeks to complete.  Then I'll go back to listing some new images.  As I've been cleaning things up, I've found a few images I didn't have the documenting screenshots.  As well, as some more single pin listings, and a few larger images that I didn't have.

Dizpins - Individual Pins

Finally, the rest of the individually listed or referenced pins on the Dizpins Scrapper Image page.  This list starts with the four counterfeit Disneyland Attraction Posters and then works its way down the page. A few of the pins are currently listed as "unknown."  Since I am so close to finishing, I did not spend as much time searching on Pinpics as I did when I first started this project.  During Phase 3 "clean-up"  I'll be trying to search for the remaining "unknown" pins.

The last pin in row 4, is a Little Green Man we've seen before, but it is still unknown.  Taking another look through Pinpics, and it's possible it might be one of the LGM in a Japanese Framed Set with the Pinpics number 29592.

Incredibles Logo in last row is tentatively identified as 44899.  There are three logo pins, but this one is the open edition pin, which is most likely origin to have an issue.

Woody pin is unknown, there are just too many pins that are similar to identify from a photo.

Also, the Lightning McQueen in the last row is tentatively identified as 46364.  There are many McQueens of this style, but that one is the basic open edition pin.

This image is a bit different from the others because it lists zipper pulls from Tokyo Disneyland that have been converted to pins. I think I've managed to find a listing for each on Pinpics.  Some have both the converted pin and the zipper pull listed.

The second half of the image are a series of WDW Surprise pins.  If my memories are accurate, it was some of these pins showing up on quantity on CM lanyards that started people wondering, what the heck was going on and introduced everyone to the concept of "scrappers."

The Mickey pin in the last row, marked as "12" is tentatively identified as 2302.  With as many stand alone Mickey pins as there are, it's hard to make a positive identification.  Also, there are 2 pins similar to the Snow White Shield marked as "14."  42489 is the one with the Pinpics warning, so that's what I've listed, but I should probably include the possibility that it is Pin 42873.

Moving on to Phase 2

Well, I still have a few scraggler images, but I keep finding more single pin images, so waiting to find everything may take a long time.  In the meantime, I've finished identifying the pins on the Dizpins images, so we're going to move on to Phase 2, and come back to the odds and ends single pin images afterwards.  There are, I think 45 Dizpins images, plus a bunch of singles.  Hopefully, I can pound through these images quickly.  My goal is to finish it all in a week, and then I can get into a regular search pattern to look for images I don't have yet.

In the Dizpins stuff, there seems to be a fair amount of newly identified pins.  A lot of older Cast Lanyards, Hidden Mickeys and open edition pins.  First, I'll do the large images and then hit all the single pins at the end.

Continuing some Xiang Biao Bei Qi cleanup.  This is the first of a set of 4 small images, that I had skipped over, because I figured the pins would be identified in larger images.  That turned out mostly to be the case, but this one had a couple new.  And in general, I decided to put all the images on the blog, even if the pins were duplicated.

When I originally pulled the images off the Better Finish website in January, there was a second image that isn't there now.  Luckily, the page was archived by the Internet Wayback Machine, and so I was able to grab a link to a cached version of the page, for more documentation.  I'm not sure if there are other archived images waiting to be discovered, but that's a project for another time.
