In the past our images were made using a scanner or camera at very high resolution, exposing many minor flaws that are NOT visible to the human eye. There is a tendency for scanner images to wash out certain colors such as skintones and not pick up silver or gold tones well. I am currently using an iPhone 14 Pro Max with the app \"Photoroom Pro\" to add innovative backgrounds, providing a stellar image of the actual pin. Please know that as these images are also at very high resolution, flaws, marks, and other imperfections not or barely visible to the human eye may be exposed. Having sold pins for 25 years now, it is nigh impossible to find any pin that I would call \"perfect\". I also remove the outer plastic wrapper in order to give the images a cleaner line and I return them to the wrapper (assuming they had a wrapper) after taking the image.
For those of you that peruse my sales, a comment on pricing. I look at current and prior completed sales when assessing what price point to list my pins at. To a minimal extent I take my cost into account (after all, the collectibles market is an investment, so values go up and down and I will list a pin near or even under my cost if the market demands this). The biggest factor is rarity, if a pin only comes to market once to several times a year and there are often none of that pin available for sale, I consider those rarities, and will price them accordingly, generally at high values as they are near impossible to replace. Sometimes I wait years to finally attain a certain pin or to replace one I sold. These are the types of pins I consider my specialty as I am ALWAYS on the lookout for something rare, hard to attain, and/or extremely limited. Since I offer free shipping and I try to be at or near the lowest price plus shipping, on , at the time I list, my prices are sometimes negotiable, but not by much.
Description: During the celebration of the 15th anniversary of the Animal Kingdom theme park, this pin was given to executives and esteemed Cast Members who had an integral part in contributing to the planning, development, and growth of Walt Disney World\'s 4th themed gate. The pin itself measures 3.75\" at its tallest point and 2.75\" at its widest point. It is a boxed pin in an extremely low edition size of only 50.
This particular example belonged to none other than Joe Rohde and was sold via Instagram on 4/8/2021 along with other pieces from Joe\'s extensive collection of Disney memorabilia. I am including a screenshot of the original sale announcement along with a copy of several Tweets from Joe with links to the sales to support the provenance of this pin. If you purchase the pin, and you wish, I will be happy to include these for your personal records.
