PAX AUS Anniversary Misprint

khelddarkhelddar Registered User new member
My little brother bought a PAX AUS 10 Year Anniversary pin but it seems to have a been a misprint. As you can see in the image below it says Prime instead of Aus, but it has the Aus colors.

Has anyone come across one like this? is it common that there will be a few misprint per pin production run?

    That's awesome. There was a blue Prime one that said Aus on it.

    If you don't want it I'll trade for it :p

    The Enforcers saw this early this morning and still sold it. It is the mirror to the Prime one. I would also trade for it(I'm at AUS....Wearing a East scarf with about 100 pins on it). I love misprints and IF you wanted to part with it, I'd be willing to make a very nice trade for it. :)

    Misprints are so great. I particularly love the staff heads with missing pupils. They're so creepy.

    Side note: what is that lanyard? It's really neat...

    Definitely a cool misprint. I really hope that Kemper lanyard comes to South, it looks great!

    We'll someone here traded for it.. BUT WHO!?

  • 00Fayt0000Fayt00 Registered User regular
    Okay,..so found out a bit on these. Apparently there are four that we know of now. Brian got hold of and destroyed 1 as he doesnt like mistakes like this out there (and rare). Khoo has one and is keeping it. @khelddar has one I believe still, and then I traded a ton for one at the trading event with a lady.

    Stokes and still cant believe i traded for one.

  • TheAggroCraigTheAggroCraig Ultimate Lucky Douchebag MassachusettsRegistered User regular
    Is that for the Aus ones specifically, or the crests in general? Because we only the photo for one at Prime (that I know of), and I don't remember seeing/hearing any East ones.

    This sounds odd, but misprints do nothing for my squirrels. They are an interesting anomaly, and I'm curious how they happen (mix-up at the factory coming out of the cast?) but I don't have a desire to collect them.

    Mercifully, Pedro, I'm in the same boat.

    Considering the scarcity, I don't think there will ever even be enough misprinted pins for the misprint collectors to trade or collect.

    But I do love seeing these misprints, this one especially I think is really cool because it's not a "damaged" pin for lack of a better word. It's 99% perfect bar except the location, on a quick glance, you wouldn't even notice.

    This is in the podcast we did...so I should possibly wait for it to be on there since I remember bringing it up, but apparently there are at least 11 of the misprints. Pedro and I are actually guessing there are 12 since that is the normal tray size when pins are created.

    One of the enforcers said they had found/held back like 7-8 of them when we started all having a panic attack about them. They are going to be taken to the Child's Play Auction he said.

    They are likely to have them next year. As to why they didn't have them this year, they simply didn't make them then. It's like asking why no Pins at PAX 2008. They weren't in existence. But I suspect they will be available for at least a couple of years, same as the Core and Twisp/Catsby lanyards.

    Teaser: another lanyard is coming SOON.

    It was less of a question, more of a lamentation :) I suppose I should have swapped didn't for couldn't. I guess I haven't gotten in deep enough to know about other pin lanyards, I thought there was only the one standard blue/orange Gabe/Tycho one. Good to know! I look forward to lanyard news! And @Ayefkay‌ I suspect you are not :)

    I heard a rumor at the [E] after party that PA staff want to destroy the remaining misprints, My guess is to make Khoo's more valuable, lols.

  • PedroAsaniPedroAsani Brotherhood of the Squirrel [Prime]Registered User regular
    I think they just want to avoid anything like the whole "Penny Black" madness.

    Rare stamp, goes for thousands. There are a few with misprints that go way higher. I believe the other examples include one where the biplane was printed upside down.

    Penny Black was an insane pin collector who killed over a hundred people at a trading event just so she could secure an all green Skull Fart pin.

    Whoa! Crazy!

    Spoke to an Enforcer we happened to run into on a tram on Sunday night and he said that from what was brought back, they think there were 12 out in circulation.

    As for the Kemper lanyard. Super cute but it sucks for pin trading because the pictures on it contrast with the background and you can't easily glance at someone's pins as you pass. Just get an eyeful of kitties.

    Gah! It was the worst, because they look like pins from afar and so you get excited and then you get close and no pins :(

    Yeah, I bet the people only collecting Kemper pins felt the most confusion.

    So, wait... we have two rumours going on now: auction the remaining misprints for Child's Play or destroy them instead. I feel like this is a decision in a Bioware game.

    And if they destroy the ones they've got, wouldn't that just make this Penny Black (dare I say, *Pinny* Black) scenario more likely as the pins out there in the wild would become even more rare?

    It has nothing to do with pins, and it's "Penny Black" as Pedro said originally.

    With the word "stamp" and "penny" it's easy to confuse it with the stamp on the back of a pin" and of course "pinny."

    Conversation I had with a friend

    "So I gave someone $700 to go to PAXAUS and get me 20 pin sets"
    "Holy shit... That's a lot money. Who did you give it to?"
    ".... I dunno. I think his name might be Pedro. I never actually asked"
    "....his name is Pedro?...."
