Each card is assessed by condition first, then matched to the most appropriate tier and workflow.
Complete Repair is best suited for cards valued at $300+ or where grading potential and presentation improvement justify deeper restoration work.
No payment upfront. You approve the plan first, and payment is due after the work is completed.
Add $25 for in-house slab cracking on graded cards. Return shipping is billed at cost.
