A Note on Shipping Insurance

Poke-Fix insures your cards for the return trip, from our workshop back to your door. Getting your cards to us is your responsibility, so we recommend shipping with tracking and insurance (USPS Priority Mail, UPS, or FedEx), with each card in a penny sleeve and toploader secured against movement. This matters most on high-value submissions: real orders we've processed include cards declared at $1,299 and $894, and a few extra dollars of inbound insurance is cheap protection on cards like those.

Is Pokemon Card Restoration Considered Altering?

One of the most common questions in the hobby. Here's what you need to know.

What We Do (Accepted)

  • Remove surface dirt, oils, and contaminants
  • Polish out light surface scratches
  • Reduce visibility of dents and dings
  • Clean holo surfaces
  • Flatten minor warping and bends

What We Never Do (Alteration)

  • Repaint, recolor, or add ink
  • Trim or cut edges
  • Apply coatings or sealants
  • Fill in chips or missing card stock
  • Any process adding foreign material

Professional restoration that removes contaminants and addresses minor wear is widely accepted. PSA, BGS, and CGC evaluate each card as-is. We provide transparent, non-invasive restoration that respects the integrity of your cards.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our restoration process, pricing, and results.

What types of damage can you fix?

We can address a wide range of card issues including surface scratches, dirt and debris, minor creases, dents, and holo scratches. Our Deep Clean service handles deep cleaning, holo scratch removal and inspection, while our Full Restoration service adds dent and crease reduction, edge lift reduction, and deep scratch treatment.

Some defects such as severe creases through the card stock, ink loss, water damage staining, and major structural damage may have limited improvement potential. We always provide an honest assessment before beginning work.

What are the risks of grading a restored card?

Submitting any restored card to a grading company carries inherent risk. PSA, BGS, and CGC each maintain their own evolving criteria for what they consider "altered," and those criteria are not always disclosed publicly. A card that we restore using accepted, non-additive techniques may still be flagged by a grader as "Evidence of Alteration" (for example, PSA's N-codes), which results in the card being returned ungraded and can permanently reduce its market value.

Things to understand before you grade:

  • Restoration is a cosmetic improvement service. It does not guarantee a numerical grade or a passing crossover.
  • Different graders apply different standards. A card that fails at PSA may receive a numerical grade at CGC or BGS, and vice versa.
  • Grader criteria can change over time. Cards that previously graded numerically may be flagged on resubmission.
  • Once a card is flagged with an alteration code on a specific cert, that judgment cannot be reversed by that grader on that cert.

By choosing to submit a restored card for grading, you accept that the outcome is solely at the discretion of the grading company. Poke-Fix is not responsible for any grade, alteration designation, or change in market value that results from a third-party grader's evaluation. If you are unsure, we recommend discussing your card with us before committing to restoration or grading.

How does shipping insurance work?

Poke-Fix insures your cards for the return trip, from the moment we ship them back to you until they arrive at your door. Getting your cards to our workshop is your responsibility, so we recommend shipping with tracking and insurance via USPS Priority Mail, UPS, or FedEx, with each card placed in a penny sleeve and toploader and secured to prevent movement during transit.

This matters most on high-value submissions. Real orders we've processed include cards declared at $1,299 and $894, so a few extra dollars of inbound insurance is cheap protection.

How long does restoration take?

Deep Clean typically takes 3-4 weeks from when we receive your cards. Full Restoration takes 5-7 weeks due to the more intensive work involved. Bulk submission timelines vary based on scope. You can track progress through your customer dashboard at any time.

How is pricing calculated?

Deep Clean is $29.95 flat for any card declared under $500, and adds a 2.5% value premium for cards declared at $500 or above.

Full Restoration is priced by declared card value: under $100 is $99.95, $100 to $499 is $124.95, $500 to $999 is $199.95, and $1,000 and above is $299.95 plus 2.5% of value.

Return shipping is billed separately from the restoration fee. It starts at $14.95 and scales up with your card's declared value, since it includes insurance for the trip back to you. All prices are shown upfront before you check out.

What if I'm not happy with the results?

If you're not satisfied with our restoration work, we'll redo it at no extra charge, no questions asked. We also send before-and-after photos before your cards ship back, so you know exactly what was done.
