Enamel pins are handmade and therefore flaws are bound to happen.
Backs and sides of pins are not included in grading, unless there is a unique backstamp design!
Grading of my pins is as follows:
A grades,also calledstandard grades, are pins that I have deemed to be the best of the bunch.
They may still have minor flaws, however these flaws are not detrimental to the design of the pin and are not visible unless at an angle/under direct lighting.
Meaning that a pin with an A grading does not necessarily equal a flawless or perfect pin
B gradesare pins that I have deemed to be okay condition but have more noticeable flaws.
This includes small scratches, nicks, bumps.
C gradesare pins that have apparent flaws in places that are more evident and may visually effect the overall design of the pin,
Such as scratches, bubbles, areas of underfilled/overfilled enamel, mis-colored or incorrectly filled areas, or enamel damage.
Seconds gradeare a combination of B andC grades.
D/F gradesare pins that are extremely damaged in a way that can be seen easily to the naked eye.
This includes large areas of screenprint errors, large discolored areas, damaged enamel, large bubbles, incorrect colors, etc.
D/F grades will be listed separately and sold at an extreme discount.
P4P pins are ungraded, meaning they will be a mix of standards grade and seconds grade.
However pre ordered P4Ps will be guaranteed the best of the batch.
I will personally quality check each pin before sending it out.
Please do not purchase p4ps if you are not comfortable with this policy! I do not accept refunds due to lack of understanding.
