Grading Policies

Please note my pins are handmade and human error is always a possibility. 

To grade, I inspect the pin from a distance then close up in bright lighting to detect any errors. I do not grade the sides or backs of my pins; however, I do make sure the posts are not severely bent and are intact.

Standard: Minimal errors upon close inspection including but not limited to slight scratches on enamel or metal, small specks on enamel, small nicks, slight underfill or overfill, or slightly misaligned print. Not likely to be noticed at a short distance.

Seconds: More noticeable errors including but not limited to scratches, specks, underfill or nicks in enamel or printing or missing or misaligned printing. Any small facial errors such as specks on enamel or scratches. However, I will not sell any pins that severely damage the overall look of the design. 

Preorder Grade: Preorders are mixed grade; however, I will fulfill preorder with standard grade first until I run out. By ordering a preorder, you agree to receiving either grade of pin. 

P4P Mixed Grade: P4P pins are ungraded. I will look through them and try to pick out and major errors; however, nothing is guaranteed. 

If you have any issues with the quality of a pin you received, please contact me. I am always open to constructive criticism.
