FAQ

Clear expectations mean happy collectors.

Is card cleaning safe?

Yes. We use card-safe materials and handle cards in a very sterile environment with gloves and clean tooling. We avoid harsh chemicals and rough methods that can damage surfaces.

When do I pay?

After we receive your cards, we confirm the final card count and apply any bulk discount. Then we email you a Stripe invoice. Cleaning begins once the invoice is paid.

Will cleaning increase my grade?

Cleaning can improve presentation by reducing surface dust, oils, and light handling marks, but it cannot fix structural damage like dents, creases, bends, or print defects. Grading outcomes vary by card condition and grader.

What affects turnaround time?

Tier and quantity are the big ones. Larger submissions take longer. We’ll communicate expectations once your card count is confirmed.
