Card Restoration & Prep

Careful, case-by-case work for trading cards that may benefit from cleaning, preparation, or select restoration.

I take on cards selectively, based on their condition, your goals, and whether the requested work is a good fit.

Possible services include:

  • Surface cleaning
  • Encapsulation removal
  • Grading preparation
  • Select structural restoration for suitable cards
  • A card-by-card assessment, including thoughts on grading or resubmission

I don’t do touch-up paint or cut or shaved corners. Every card is different, and restoration can’t guarantee a particular grade.

Want me to consider a card? Send clear photos of the front, back, and any areas of concern, along with what you hope to achieve. I’ll take a look and let you know whether it’s a project I’d take on and what work may be appropriate.
