I got notice that all 5 pins are finished and have been shipped to me! The manufacturer sent these photos before they were boxed up for shipping.

I should receive the pins next week. Once I have them, I will go through the process of grading them all, which means very carefully checking each one for defects, mistakes, etc. I am but one person with a full-time job, so the process of checking nearly 300 pins will take some time. When the pins arrive, I'll post non-potato photos!

The backing postcards and most of the shipping supplies arrived today, but I'm still waiting on more shipping labels.

The last major piece of the puzzle is all the stickers. I'm waiting on production info from the manufacturer. As soon as I have that info, I'll post an update.

The original timeline of this campaign has me delivering the pins/stickers to y'all in September, but unless there are major issues with the pins and/or stickers, I'll be shipping well before then. I will not rush the pin QA process. Although it's a lot of pins to check, it certainly won't take until September.

That's all for this update!
