Sedesma pins are actually authorized merchandise manufactured in Spain by a company licensed by Disney. They certainly have a distinctly different feel/look than their American counterparts! I only have perhaps a dozen - out of the 3500 pins in my collection. Personally they are not to my liking (though my daughter trades for them constantly!) but Sedesma pins are not out to get anybody, cheat you, ruin your fun or this hobby. They are as officially tradable at WDW as any rack pin you buy there. Any Cast Member that tells you differently is misinformed. Trade for the pins you like, leave the ones you don't... but if the swap makes you happy don't worry about.
