Grading System

  • Preferred or Presale Grade
    • No less than 90% perfect. As these are handmade products, there is no such thing as a "flawless" pin. These will not have visible flaws that detract from the design or pin itself. This grade is what presale buyers get when they purchase. It is the best of the lot.
  • Standard Grade
    • These are the standard that are received. They may include small flaws such as dust specks, minor scratches only visible in angled lighting, etc. They will not have any major flaws that detract from the design or pin itself. These are the next closest to presale grade.
  • Value and/or Flawed Grade
    • Value or flaw grade pins are my pins that have some visible flaws, but they are not usually visible on a board. These flaws may include (but are not limited to) things like scratches, small bubbles, major dust flecks, etc. These will be around 65-75% perfect and are best for those looking for lower prices while still getting a beautiful pin.
