enamel pins are hand-made items and slight variations can occur during production. all of the pins in my shop are carefully quality-checked by me and categorized into 2 grades.

standard grade pins are the highest quality pins of the batch. due to the hand-made nature of pins, minor imperfections can include (but are not limited to):

• small scratches on surfaces
• small pores in enamel
• faint dust in enamel
• small discoloration on metal

standard grade pins usually ship with a backing card.

b-grade pins are sold at a discount. these pins might have (but are not limited to):

• small but noticeable scratches on surfaces
• small but noticeable pores in enamel
• small but noticeable dust in enamel
• small but noticeable discoloration on metal
• noticeable imperfections with screen-print and other effects

note that b-grade pins may not come with a backing card.
