What is your enamel pin grading policy?
- Please be aware that my grading system is on a batch by batch basis. Some batches of pins will be better than others; however, some may be not as great. Those will be graded accordingly and any disclaimers will be mentioned in the description of the product listing.
- A grades are the best of the batch! They might have slight imperfections that are barely noticeable unless deeply scrutinized under direct light. This can include small scratches, minor dents, misplacement of glitter, or enamel underfill. Depending on the pin, the metal may have a slight dent from machinery handling but the enamel is still near perfect. However, they are still aesthetically pleasing and look great overall.
- B grades are still great but have more imperfections than A grades. They may have multiple small scratches, dents, bubbles, enamel underfill. Due to this, they are priced a bit lower than A grades.
- C grades have noticeable imperfections but are perfect for daily wear at a low cost! These imperfections can include deep scratches, big air bubbles, incorrect colors or discoloration. However, most pins are not as bad as the imperfections described.
