Good evening, gang!

So, thankfully, carton 3/10 showed up today. Of course, it was given a dropoff window of the exact period of time I was deboning chickens this morning, but, it's here, it's safe, and me and the neighbors had a good laugh about it. 

Before you ask, yes, it was left in the same spot on the porch in full view of the main road.

Let's celebrate with a few more pictures.

Every CHALLENGE COIN CRITTERS pin is accounted for, so, that means it's time for grading and shipping some orders.

Soft enamel pins are different from hard enamel, and tend to throw different flaws. But, grading is not going to be too different of a process for these.

I'm going to get a head start on grading myself, starting from Axolotl and African Wild Dog, and shipping some qualifying orders as I go. But, in the coming weeks, I'm going to be training some helpers to do all the remaining pins at once.

What defines a B-GRADE C3 pin?

Rest assured - if this is your first rodeo, B-grade pins aren't destroyed. Grading helpers get pick of the litter on them, first, but they will all get loving homes. I toss them into event goodie bags, raffles, or I toss 'em at nonprofits. Any left go up for sale on the HUSTLE at a discount.

CHALLENGE COIN CRITTERS-only backers and SPECIAL TIER BACKERS will be fulfilling first. If you're in that bracket, and your name's closer to the start of the alphabet, you may be getting tracking this week and weekend. This is not in error - your critters are on their way!
 
You are not being charged and you are not shipping yet if you backed THE HYENA FAMILY and requested combined shipping. Hold tight!

Are there any pins YOU want to see photos of in the next couple of days? Let me know! There's over 70 pins, we have time.

Anyways, go follow the dog project.
