Everything you need to know about our professional Pokémon card restoration services

🔧 Restoration Services

What types of damage can you fix?

We can restore most types of damage including edge wear, corner damage, light scratches, minor creases, and general wear. Our professional techniques can dramatically improve the appearance and grade potential of your cards. While some severe damage like deep scratches or heavy fibre loss may not be completely eliminated, we'll always work to achieve the best possible result.

How much will my card's grade improve?

Most cards see significant improvement! While we can't guarantee specific grades (as grading companies make the final decision), our restoration typically helps cards achieve grade levels higher than their original condition. We provide before/after documentation so you can see the transformation.

Is restoration worth it for my valuable cards?

Absolutely! Even a single grade improvement can increase a card's value by hundreds or thousands of dollars. Our professional restoration gives your cards the best chance at achieving their maximum grade potential when submitted to PSA, BGS, or other grading services.

What if I'm not happy with the restoration?

We stand behind our work! Every restoration includes photo/video proof showing the improvement achieved. Our professional techniques and experience mean customers are consistently thrilled with results. Restoration services are non-refundable once work has begun, as each card receives custom treatment. If you are still unhappy a store credit can be discussed on a case to case basis.

Every job includes documentation showing the transformation achieved.

🎯 Getting Started

How do I know if my card is worth restoring?

Generally, any card worth $50+ in current condition benefits from restoration. Higher-value cards see the most dramatic return on investment. Even moderately valuable cards often become significantly more valuable after professional restoration. We have seen old grails get restored and 5x to 10x their value!

What's included in the restoration service?

Complete professional restoration using industry-leading techniques, secure handling with museum-quality care, photo/video documentation of the process, tracked return shipping, and our expertise from years of restoring thousands of cards.
