PIN GRADING

PIN GRADING GUIDELINES


STANDARD GRADE (A-Grade)

The best quality that we are able to offer.
You might see very small imperfections such as:

slight variable textures
small bumps on the back of the pin
small scratches / scuffs on metal / enamel
slight irregularities on line weight distribution

SECONDS GRADE (B-Grade)

Pins most likely to be sold in grab bags and at conventions.
More noticeable defects can show on the pin such as:

missing enamel
underfill in large areas
color discoloration / mismatching colors
more than one pore or bubble on the front of the pin

Please keep this all in mind when ordering pins.
We cannot guarantee collector/perfect grade.
Each pin is inspected upon arrival as well as prior to shipping out to customers.
