Since all pins are hand-made you can’t expect perfection so here is the grading system that I borrow from pin makers like Maikopin, Akuma press, Fauxfox studio, DearKisagiri etc… :
Standard Grade
Meant to be worn ! Free of major defects but *may* exhibit minor imperfections…
Examples of minor imperfections :
♡Tiny stray glitter specs ♡Superficial tiny bubble/ pores in enamel or epoxy coating ♡Imperfections in the metal on the sides or back of the pin ♡Faint to minor scuffs/ scratches to enamel and metal surfaces ♡Superficial paint drops/ spreading into other enamel/ very slight discoloration ♡Some minor to unnoticeable specs/ dust ♡Slight low/ over fills in minor areas ♡Other imperfections that are only visible upon extremely close-up inspection and/or when light hits the pin at a specific angle.
Seconds Grade
For Budget collectors. Multiple or major defects of the types mentioned above, or:
♡Peeling or missing enamel ♡Slight tarnishing or missing metal plating ♡Incorrect enamel coloring ♡Wiggly or bent posts ♡Unexpected problems
Most Seconds grade pins will be listed as “B-Grade.”
