So It Goes hard enamel pin

So It Goes hard enamel pin

The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just that way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever. When a Tralfamadorian sees a corpse, all he thinks is that the dead person is in bad condition in the particular moment, but that the same person is just fine in plenty of other moments. Now, when I myself hear that somebody is dead, I simply shrug and say what the Tralfamadorians say about dead people, which is "So it goes."

STANDARD

These are pins that meet our quality standards. This means they're free of all major defects and most minor ones. Note that standard grade pins *may* still exhibit minor, superficial imperfections (such as stray specks of glitter, tiny bubbles or dents in enamel or epoxy, small scratches, etc.).

B GRADE

These pins have slightly larger imperfections or multiple small ones. They still look great and are very wearable; most defects won't be noticeable except on close inspection.

C GRADE 

These pins have more serious defects. We think they're still lovable and offer them at a deep discount.

Photos show standard grade pins.
B- and C-grade pins are sold as-is and are not eligible for returns or refunds.
