Grading

Standard Grade

Pins in this grade will have little to no flaws at all. These are usually the best pins I get from the manufacturer!
But as all pins are handmade, flaws are inevitable.

Possible flaws include but aren't limited to:

  • Small dents or bumps on metal plating, enamel, or in/on print
  • Slight print misalignment
  • Minor scratches or scuffs
  • Minor enamel underfill or overfill


Substandard Grade

Pins in this grade will have more noticeable flaws, though they should still be pretty!

Possible flaws include but aren't limited to:

  • Noticeable dents or bumps on metal plating, enamel, or in/on print
  • Larger print misalignment
  • Large scratches or scuffs


Inferior Grade

These pins have multiple noticeable flaws, have severely misaligned print, missing enamel, wrong colors, missing enamel, etc. They are pins I can see SOMEONE purchasing, but please, purchase at your own risk.
