3 Tokyo Disneyland Resort Pins

While most scrapped/counterfeited pins are US designs (Disneyland, WDW, Disneystore.com) foreign pins can be scrapped as well.

Small Group of "higher quality" pins

Trade Key gives businesses the option to list a Product Catalog (which is where most of these listings originate).  They also allow them to list "Sell Offers."  They annoying thing for us, is that the images on the selling pages don't include an "Enlarge Image"option.  There are several additional listings, but the pictures are way too small to identify.  This one is good enough to identify most pins.  However, the pin in the first row, all the way to the right is unknown.  I think it's a Stitch pin, and I thought he might be riding in a Splash Mountain Log, but the only pin I could find did not match up.

Update 5/25/2013: I've identified the missing pin.  It's Stitch in a Pirate ship.  It looks like this manufacturer also sells on Ebay, which is how I was able to identify it.  Pin 72364

2011 and 2012 Hidden Mickey Pins

Listings for recent pins are harder to come by, but Trade Key did have a semi-recent listing that included 2011 and 2012 pins.

More Hidden Mickeys and mini pins

This is another image that is only visible when you click on the "Enlarge Image" of a different listing.

I also have a couple of unknown pins.  The "Keep on Trading" Mystery pin in row 2, and the Genie in row 3. EDIT:  Found the Genie, and think the Keep on Trading pin is Dale.

Small grouping, but not a lot new

With the recent display changes to Trade Key, I've found that not all images get their own product page.  This image and a few others I located by clicking on "Enlarge image"  and then paging through the images that show up in the image pop-up.  So when I list the URL below, you will have to click the "Enlarge Image" to see this grouping of pins
