This was part of a double order, same as my other review. I’m new to pinning as a hobby in my spare time. From what I can tell they’re good specimens with plenty of variety. My only gripe is that they didn’t come with ID but that wouldn’t stop me from ordering again. Hopefully ID can be added to future purchases.
As someone who’s just started pinning, I don’t know a lot. From what I can see they are good specimens with a good variety. Would definitely order again. My only gripe is that they don’t come with ID.
