PINS GRADING
Enamel pins are manufactured by hand and thus there can be flaws and differences in between pins.
Once pins arrive to me I grade them using my personnal standards. I grade them as A B or C (pins with C grade will often be put in special surprise bags but it will always be mentionned if there is a C grade).
A grade (standard)
A grade are pins with the best quality, they might have some flaws but these are pretty light and barely noticeable or only noticeable under a certain angle. A grade are pins with very very slight flaws to no flaws at all.
B grade (seconds)
B grade are pins with slight flaws, flaws can be :
- Dust, dirt specs, bubbles
- Scratches or scuffing on plating or enamel
- some underfill or overfill
- Very small area of missing enamel
- lightly misaligned or missing printing
C grade (only in some surprise bags)
C grade are pins with really noticeable flaws, flaws can be:
- Dust, dirt specs, bubbles
- Scratches or scuffing on plating or enamel
- Underfill or overfill
- Area of missing enamel
- ...
These pins are still cute to put on your bag or so to wear
