P4P Pins:
- Our P4P pins are graded for major flaws or issues, however for P4P pins it is possible to receive a Standard "A" grade or "B" grade pin. We will strive to ensure that everyone who preorders a P4P pin receives the highest quality pin available, but due to the nature of P4P pins we cannot guarantee our typical "A" standard pins.
Disclaimer:
- Enamel pin colors may vary depending on your screen or photo. Pin production uses Pantone colors which do not support RGB coloration, for this reason we cannot guarantee that colors will match 100%
- This grading scale is used to provide our standards for pin production. When purchasing our pins it is assumed that you have read, understood, and have agreed to this grading scale.
