This is a must-have for fans of Disney concept art and castle collectors.
Key Features
Mary Blair aesthetic, geometric pattern, hard-to-find anniversary release, crossover appeal for both Alice in Wonderland fans and castle pin collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
Check back for the Disney Pin Trading logo, the '70 Alice in Wonderland' mark, and the waffle pattern. High confidence based on unique Mary Blair pattern, though 'scrappers' (fakes) exist for popular castle pins.
Flaws to Note
The item is loose (no carding). Possible minor surface scuffs from being stored with other pins. The photo is blurry, so look for 'waffle' pattern consistency on the back.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the primary market for Disney pins. Mercari is also excellent for quick sales to Disney fans. Specialized Facebook Groups (Disney Pin Trading) can yield top dollar.
Selling Tips
Take high-resolution, clear photos of the front and the back to prove authenticity. Use keywords like 'Mid Century Modern', 'MCM', and 'Mary Blair' in the title. Ship in a padded bubble mailer to prevent the pin post from bending.
