Card Conservation & Restoration

Pricing

Every card is quoted personally after I've seen your photos — these are the starting points, so you know what you're walking into before you send anything.

  • Cleaning + Polish

    Surface grime, fingerprints, residue and light scuffing lifted, then polished so the finish reads clean in hand and on camera.

    $10

  • Slab Cracking

    Safely cracking a graded slab to free the card for restoration. The original label is preserved and returned with your card if you'd like it.

    $15

  • Edge / Corner Lifts

    Separated layers at a corner or along an edge re-bonded and pressed flat. Priced by how many corners or edges are affected and how far the lift has spread.

    $40+

  • Dent Repair

    Pressure marks and indents worked back up so the surface sits flat and reads even in raking light.

    $55+

  • Crease Repair

    Fold lines flattened and softened so they're far less visible. Priced by length, depth, and whether the ink layer has cracked.

    $80+

  • Full Restoration

    The complete treatment — cleaning, corner and edge work, dent and crease reduction, and surface finishing, tailored to what your specific card needs.

    $150+

  • Grading Submission

    Your restored card prepped, packaged and submitted to a grading company on your behalf, with tracking shared throughout.

    $25

    + grading company fee

How pricing actually works

  • A +means that's the starting price. What a card actually costs depends on how much damage there is and how it responds — a single lifted corner is a very different job from four.
  • The assessment and quote are free. You'll get a specific price for your card before you ship anything or pay anything.
  • Nothing due up front.You approve the quote, the work gets done, and you pay the final invoice once it's finished — your card ships back as soon as it's settled. If I find extra damage mid-restoration, you approve any added work before it's billed.
  • Services combine — cleaning is often bundled with corner or crease work, and I'll tell you when the full restoration price is the better deal.
  • If a card can't be meaningfully improved, I'll tell you that instead of taking your money.
