The service
Careful hands for tired cards.
A restoration service that tells you the truth first. Free photo assessment, conservative work, and full documentation of everything we did — because restoration is disclosed, always.
What we take on
Cleaning
Surface grime, residue, and stains lifted without harming the card.
De-creasing & flattening
Bends, creases, and warping eased back toward flat.
Edge & corner work
Frayed edges and soft corners cleaned up and reinforced.
Surface repair
Scratches, print lines, and blemishes carefully addressed.
Pokémon cards are our home turf, but collectible trading cards generally — other TCGs, sports cards — are welcome. The older and more delicate the card, the more conservative we get.
How it works
Send photos
A few clear shots and a note about what's wrong. That's it — no commitment.
Honest assessment, free
We tell you what can improve, what can't, and what we'd do — with a quote — before anything is agreed. Sometimes the honest answer is "leave it alone," and we'll say so.
Careful restoration
Slow, conservative work. The card's survival always beats an aggressive fix.
Full documentation
Before-and-after photos and a plain written list of exactly what was done, kept with the card.
What about cost?
Every card is different — different damage, different stock, different risk — so every card is quoted individually after we see photos. The assessment costs nothing, and you'll have the quote in hand before any work begins. If a card isn't worth restoring, we'll tell you that too.
What we'll never do
- No trimming, recoloring, or filling. That's not restoration — it's card doctoring, and it's where hobby fraud cases come from.
- No grade promises. Under current PSA, BGS, CGC and TAG policy, restoration work counts as alteration. A restored card is an altered card — we restore for display, play, and preservation, never to chase a grade. Read exactly what graders flag.
- No mystery work. Every card leaves with its documentation, and every restored card should be disclosed as restored when sold or graded. Where we draw the line.
Start with the free assessment
Attach photos of your card and tell us what's wrong. We reply with an honest read and a quote — including "leave it alone" when that's the right call.
