  • We guarantee that all pins are inspected for quality and are carefully packaged. Should you receive an incorrect or damaged pin, please call or e-mail us: pinfriend@comcast.net for return instructions or a refund, if item is sold out.  Due to the limited availability of many collectible pins, and the general nature of the pin trading hobby, all sales are final.
