We believe a collector's card is a small keeper of time. Behind every one is a memory worth protecting, and we restore it with the reverence that history deserves.
How a Commission Moves.
Assessment
Your card is examined and photographed. We will verify the tier of submission, tell you plainly what can be done, what should not be, and what it will cost — before anything is touched. If assessment confirms that the incorrect tier was selected at order, we will reach out with the new submission tier proposition and price and await your approval before beginning restoration.
Treatment
Work proceeds by hand, in stages, under magnification. Each intervention is recorded as it happens.
Record
A sealed conservation record is prepared: before and after imagery, the steps taken, and every material used.
Return
The card is returned to you in person, in protective housing, with its record alongside.
What to have ready.
You may submit up to fifteen cards in a single commission. Before you begin, have the following on hand:
- Each card's detailsThe card and set for every card you're submitting (for example, “1999 Base Set Charizard, Holo”).
- A chosen service per cardSelect a service for each card. Each price is a starting amount; final scope is confirmed once your cards are in hand and examined.
No photos are needed — every card is examined and photographed here as part of its conservation record. Agreement to our Terms of Service is completed with your submission. Once we receive it, we'll reply personally to confirm your commission, arrange payment, and set a time and place to meet — cards are handed off and returned in person.
