Magic: The Gathering restoration FAQ

Can you restore vintage MTG cards like Alpha, Beta, or Unlimited?

Yes. We regularly work on vintage Magic cards from the earliest sets. We use conservative methods appropriate for older card stock and understand the specific characteristics of early MTG printing.

Can you fix foil curling on Magic cards?

We can reduce foil curling and warping on many MTG foils. Results depend on the severity and the specific foil process used. We will assess and advise before any work begins.

Do you work on both regular and foil Magic cards?

Yes. We handle standard, foil, extended art, showcase, and all other MTG card variants. Each type requires different techniques, which we tailor to the specific card.

Will restoration affect the card for tournament play?

Our restoration focuses on cosmetic improvement. Restored cards should still be legal for tournament play, but always check with your local judge if you have concerns about specific cards.
