Full Restore - Pre-grade inspection

Pre-Grade Review

Thinking about sending a card for grading?

Our Pre-Grade Review gives you an independent assessment before you commit to the cost of submission. Each card is carefully inspected to identify the factors most likely to influence its potential grade.

Condition Check

We assess the key areas considered during grading, including surface, edges, corners and centering, highlighting visible imperfections that could affect the final result.

Grade Potential

Get an informed opinion on the potential grade range of your card based on its current condition.

While no pre-grade can guarantee the grade ultimately awarded by a grading company, our assessment can help you make a more informed decision before submitting.

Submission Advice

Not every card needs to be graded.

We’ll give you straightforward advice on the grading process and whether, based on the card’s condition and potential grade, submission appears worthwhile or if it’d just be better to sell raw.

Cleaning & Restoration Potential

Where appropriate, we’ll also identify whether professional cleaning or restoration could potentially improve the card’s presentation and grading prospects before submission.

There’s no obligation to have additional work carried out — the aim is to give you the information you need to decide what to do next.

Suitable for a Wide Range of Trading Cards

We can review modern, vintage and collectible trading cards across a range of TCGs.

Please note: Pre-grading is an independent assessment only. Final grades are determined solely by the grading company and cannot be guaranteed.
