Pin Grading

Enamel Pins are crafted by hand, so minor imperfections are common.

Sleepy Ink has categorized these pins into 3 grading tiers:

Grade A

Almost perfect pins. Initial inspection reveals no visible damage. Minor scratches and light scuffs may be present. The pin is suitable for display and remains in excellent condition. Priced at the standard rate.

Grade B

Upon initial inspection, no immediate issues are apparent. Deeper scuffs and scratches may be more prominent. Uneven enamel pouring could be evident, lacking a smooth polish. Nevertheless, it remains a perfectly displayable pin. A slight discount will be applied.

Grade C

Visible damage, unsuitable for display. Eg. chipped enamel, deep scratches, discoloration, poorly poured enamel. Considerable discount applied. Optimal for experimenting with. 😆
