How it works

Restoration is careful, reversible-first cleaning and flattening — never altering what a card actually is. Every card is documented from the moment it arrives so you can see exactly what was done.

The process

01

Intake

Your card is photographed front and back on arrival and logged to a chain of custody with a unique case ID.

02

Restore

Cleaned and worked area by area under raking light — surface, edges, and corners — then pressed to finish.

03

Document

You get a private, password-protected case page with a full narrated walkthrough, before-and-after notes, and video.

What restoration covers

Surface cleaning

Dust, film, and residue lifted from the front and back without touching the print or holo.

Dent & edge work

Raised edges and small dents rolled and flattened, then pressed for an even finish.

Corner work

Slight corner raises improved where the paper allows — never forced.

Honest assessment

Whitening, creases, and print defects are permanent. I will tell you what cannot be fixed rather than make it worse.

No grade, no alteration. A restoration record is a documented account of the cleaning and flattening performed — it is not a grade, an appraisal, or a claim about a card's identity. What a card is never changes; only its cleanliness and flatness do.
