Return packaging after repair

The return trip can undo careful bench work if the card rattles, bends, or gets opened on a dirty table. We pack for transit. You take it from the door to a sleeve plan that matches the card you just paid to improve.

What to expect in the parcel

Cards come back protected, with tracking, after payment. Repairs include a premium return package with PullShield. Either way, the card should not be loose in the box.

Save the before-and-after files with the tracking email. That is your record if you sell or grade later.

Open it like it still matters

Clean table. Dry hands. Do not flick the card out of the loader with a thumbnail. Check the card against the completion photos before you put it in a binder page. If something looks off from transit, write us with photos of the packaging and the card before you reshuffle anything.

Have a fresh penny sleeve ready if you need to change holders.

Storage after the work

The card is still paper. It can still ding, curl, and pick up fingerprints. A sleeve and loader on a shelf beats a thick binder that gets pulled out for every guest. Keep it out of damp basements and hot cars.

If you later add more cards to a mail-in, do not reuse crushed return boxes. Start the packing sequence clean each time.
