Misc rack and LE pins

This listing had a small image, so I was unable to determine what the 2nd pin in the top row even was.  Perhaps, someone can recognize it from their collection and identify it.  One pin was pictured twice.

WDW 2008 HM Completers, plus a few among a ton of previously identified

This batch indicates the work that identifying pins can take.  There are 29 pictured, but only 9 are new.  I've made myself a bit cross-eyed trying to decipher pins, and remembering which ones I had already found.  Then the other battle of finding them on Pinpics.

 The rest appear in one, two, or even 5 other images.  The new ones from this batch are ones that bum me out the most.  WDW 2008 HM completer pins.  I believed Disney when they said that these pins would only be released at the Epcot Pin Trading Celebration.  But they didn't tell the manufacturers who made these available not that long after the event.  While I could have had pins that were desired for their exclusivity, now I have extras that no one wants because there are so many counterfeit versions. This also features the infamous June Gloom pin, which made it's appearance long before an official version ever made it to the parks.

Dee Bee's, Puffles, Mickey Monsters, and more Vinylmations

Moving on...Dee Bee's, Puffles, Mickey Monsters, and more Vinylmations.  The DeeBee's came in both a silver and gold back versions.  It's impossible to tell from the picture which one is scrapped, so both Pinpics numbers have been provided.  I think my scrapper Latee is silver metal, but I don't know if there were gold ones as well.  There is one pin, Row 5, Pin 4 I could not find on Pinpics.

I did not mean to take such a long break

But it has been a couple months now, since I posted.  Unfortunately, this does not mean I don't have more images to identify.

I posted a lot of images from a company called Xiang Biao Bei Qi, when I checked Trade Key today, the same images attributed to them now are under the company name Source Mall Import & Export Company, Ltd.  So if you are doing your own investigating, and wondered why the difference, it appears they have a name change.  At least, on Trade Key.  If you look on the details, it gives a website for this company as http://www.xbbq-cn.com/ which takes you to Xiang Biao Bei Qi.  No Disney pins are listed on the company website.
