rained eyes. Calibrated hands. Flawless subgrades.

From binder wear to slab-ready perfection. We combine archival paper science with advanced flaw correction to protect your investment and elevate every subgrade.

Stop leaving grades on the table. Our multi-stage restoration clears factory dust, lifts impressions, and levels warped stock. Built for serious collectors who play to win at PSA, BGS, and CGC.

Service Clean & Pre-grade Prep

$15 per Card

  • Non-Contact Dust Removal: Rubber bulb blower (rocket blower) or clean canned air held strictly upright at an angle (never shake the can to prevent propellant discharge).

  • Soft Brushes: Anti-static sable, goat-hair makeup brushes, or dedicated card-care dusters.

  • Microfiber Cloths: Edgeless, ultra-dense optical microfiber (minimum 300–400 GSM) or dedicated lint-free card cloths. Never use paper towels, tissue, or standard cotton, which contain wood fibers that scratch foil.

  • Specialized Media: TCG cleaning sponges/pads, microfiber tipped applicators, or dedicated hobby solutions (e.g., card-cleaning sprays designed to evaporate without leaving chemical residue).

  • Inspection Light: Raking LED lamp (adjustable angle) and a 10×–20× lighted jeweler’s loupe.

Wrinkle REduction

$35 per Card

  • Controlled Micro-Humidification: Indirect ultrasonic vapor chambers or sealed RH chambers (62%–68% RH). Direct water contact or liquid misting is strictly forbidden to prevent watermarks and ink bleeding.

  • Precision Thermal Tools: Temperature-calibrated conservation tacking irons or heated spatula tips with digital P.I.D. micro-controllers (operating in the safe range of 105°F–130°F / 40°C–55°C).

  • Ergonomic Burnishers & Massage Tips:

    • High-polish natural agate burnishers (zero micro-porosity to eliminate friction drag).

    • Rounded PTFE (Teflon) styling probes.

    • Medical-grade silicone micro-shaping tips for soft, pliable pressure delivery.

  • Interleaving & Thermal Diffusion Barriers:

    • Non-stick, high-temperature PTFE release film.

    • Archival-grade siliconized glassine or ultra-smooth 2-mil biaxially oriented PET film (Melinex/Mylar).

  • Compression Rigs: Aircraft-grade precision ground aluminum or thick optical cast-acrylic leveling blocks paired with weighted or screw-clamped card presses.

Edge Lift Correction

$ 35 per Card

  • Humidity Chamber / Micro-Climate Enclosure: An airtight acrylic or polycarbonate container equipped with humidity regulation (such as 60–65% two-way humidity packs) to relax cellulose fibers safely.

  • Specialized Edge Smoothing / Burnishing Tools: High-polish agate burnishers, PTFE (Teflon) bone folders, or silicone-tipped shaping pens. (Standard metal tools or rough wood bone folders can cause friction burn, gloss scuffing, or micro-dents).

  • Barrier Media: Acid-free, ultra-smooth release paper (such as silicone release liners, glassine, or specialized card-safe mylar film) to ensure burnishers never make direct contact with raw card ink or foil.

  • Controlled Clamping / Pressing Rigs: Precision acrylic leveling blocks, neoprene cushioning shims, and uniform-pressure card presses or calibrated screw vices.

  • Inspection Optics: 10×–30× stereo microscope or lighted jeweler’s loupe to verify layer realignment and check for core-fiber stress.

Sever Crease REduction

$35 per Card

  • Vapor Conditioning Chamber: Sealed micro-climate chamber capable of maintaining 65%–70% relative humidity (RH) to thoroughly soften dense core fibers without surface wetting.

  • Specialized Conservation Irons: Digital, micro-tip tacking spatulas with accurate P.I.D. temperature regulation (calibrated within 110°F–125°F / 43°C–52°C).

  • High-Density Leveling Blocks: Hand-lapped optical cast acrylic or precision-machined 6061 aluminum blocks (minimum 0.75-inch thickness to eliminate flexure).

  • Fine Smoothing Tools: Polished natural agate burnishers (flat knife edge and rounded ball ends) and virgin PTFE bone folders.

  • Micro-Barrier Films:

    • 2-mil optical grade biaxially oriented PET film (Melinex 516).

    • High-temp non-stick PTFE transfer sheets (prevents ink pickup or gloss melting under heat).

  • High-Tension Mechanical Press: Heavy-duty, balanced dual-plate screw press or calibrated dead-weight system delivering uniform, repeatable pressure across the card plane.

Surface Dent Reduction

$35 per Card

  • Micro-Humidity Delivery Systems: Controlled humidity chambers (58%–65% RH) or precision ultrasonic cold-mist micro-applicators. Liquid drops must never touch the card.

  • Optical Inspection Setup:

    • High-magnification stereo microscope or digital inspection scope (10×–40×) to inspect fiber integrity at the trough and perimeter of the dent.

    • Low-angle, directional raking LED lighting to evaluate shadow depth before, during, and after treatment.

  • Precision Smoothing Tools: High-polish synthetic sapphire or agate burnishers, PTFE (Teflon) rounded smoothing points, and silicone micro-shapers.

  • Protective Interleaving Media: Zero-texture, biaxially oriented PET film (Mylar/Melinex), glassine, or silicone-coated release liners to prevent transferring surface texture or creating friction rub on delicate factory finishes.

  • Calibrated Mechanical Flattening Rigs: Precision-machined optical acrylic or aircraft-aluminum leveling plates paired with uniform-pressure screw presses or dead-weight leveling setups.

Holographic correction

$35 per Card

  • Zero-Abrasion Optical Cloths: Edgeless, split-fiber microfiber with ultra-fine split filaments (greater than 400 GSM, 80/20 or 70/30 polyester-to-polyamide blend). Cloths must be washed with residue-free, fragrance-free detergent and inspected under magnification for stray debris before touching foil.

  • Micro-Foam Cleaning Swabs: Polyurethane closed-cell foam swabs or precision micro-applicator tips (cotton swabs are avoided because natural cotton fibers can shed and cause micro-abrasions under pressure).

  • Optical Inspection Platform:

    • High-CRI (95+) dual-temperature adjustable LED lamp (5000K daylight balanced).

    • 360-degree pivoting low-angle raking light to inspect for swirl marks, film residue, and depth of scratching.

    • 10×–40× digital inspection microscope.

  • Neutral pH Decontamination Solutions: Ultra-pure, residue-free specialized card solutions that flash-evaporate without leaving an oily film or stripping factory UV curable inks.

  • Humidity Equalization Rig: Two-way humidity chambers equipped with 55%–62% RH regulators to address foil tension curl without thermal stress.
