Pin Grading

I offer standard grade and flawed B and C grade pins, please confirm which grade of pin you're purchasing.

Standard Grade: Pins that are devoid of major flaws and are the highest quality among the batch. These pins may exhibit minor imperfections but are only noticeable upon very close inspection or in specific angles/lighting. Standard grade is always the default listing.

Flaws may include:

  • Paint underfills
  • Dust and or small scratches from manufacturing

Flawed B: Pins that exhibit flaws that are more noticeable. These pins are still durable despite their errors in various areas.

Flaws may include:

  • Missing paint
  • Slightly misaligned screen printed details
  • Overfill of paint or inaccurate screen print
  • Smudges and or scratches on the paint and or metal
  • Stains

Flawed C: Pins that exhibit major flaws that are more noticeable. These pins are still durable despite being the lowest quality among the batch. C Grade pins would be a great extra copy to have to put on bags or lanyards.

Flaws may include:

  • Missing paint
  • Misaligned screen printed details
  • Overfill of paint or inaccurate screen print
  • Smudges and or scratches on the paint and or metal
  • Stains

Please be sure to select 'Flawed' if you're interested in discounted pins.
