Collectible Cards

Please note that grading scales vary per maker, as there is no set universal grading scale for all to follow!

Enamel pins are individually handmade items subject to small imperfections, meaning no pin is completely flawless. All our are inspected and graded accordingly! ♡

We also do not offer collector's grade pins.

By purchasing from Swamphy, you have understood and agreed to the conditions of this pin grading system.
