Pin Grading | Shipping Time | Shop Policies | Convention Schedules | Etsy Shop


It is important to note that all pins are handmade items - from the beginning with molds, to filling, and to polishing. Not all pins are in "perfect" condition and may contain minor flaws or imperfections. Please refer to the grading system below for our quality standards.
 

A-GRADE/ STANDARD PINS (highest quality pins)

Minor imperfections may include:

  • tiny marks, scratches, or scruffs on surfaces
  • tiny specks, dots, or bubbles on surfaces
  • Slight low/overfill or uneven fill areas
  • slight discoloration, marks, or oxidation on metal
  • tiny imperfections that are only detectable at certain angles or lighting conditions, or looked upon very closely

 

B-GRADE PINS

Small noticeable imperfections may include:

  • small marks, scratches, or scruffs on surfaces
  • small specks, dots or bubbles on surfaces
  • noticeable low/overfill or uneven fill areas
  • some areas of discoloration, marks, or oxidation on metal 

 

Back posts/ back side of the pins are not part of the grading system.

*** By purchasing the item, it is assumed that you have acknowledged on the pin grade conditions.
