Description
This is a highly collectible Disney Parks pin from the 'Arcade Game' themed series. It features a retro arcade cabinet design dedicated to the 1940 film Pinocchio. The pin depicts the wooden-style cabinet trim, a 'Insert Coin' marquee, and a vibrant screen showing Jiminy Cricket and Pinocchio. It includes the Disney Pin Trading logo on the back and typically features two pin posts for stability. Approximately 1.75 inches tall.
Key Features
Crossover appeal between Disney collectors and retro gaming enthusiasts; detailed 'wood grain' texture; rare arcade cabinet shape; 'Pinocchio' 1940 branding.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct 'Disney' font on the front logo; textured Mickey-head waffle pattern on the back (implied by series context); 'Fac' number stamps usually found on bottom back. Red flags would be 'soft' enamel or bleeding colors, neither of which are seen here.
Flaws to Note
No visible flaws. Buyers should check for 'pin trading' standard wobbling posts or light surface scratches on the screen's clear coat (not present in this photo).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (highest traffic for specific Disney pins), Mercari (active Disney community), or dedicated Disney Pin Trading Facebook groups.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Limited Release', 'Retro Arcade', 'Jiminy Cricket', and 'Disney Parks'. Photograph the back of the pin clearly to show the official stamps and the Mickey-head rubber backings if included. Ship in a padded bubble mailer—never a plain envelope—to prevent post damage.
