Yu-Gi-Oh! restoration FAQ

Can you restore vintage Yu-Gi-Oh! cards like LOB 1st Edition?
Yes. We regularly work on vintage Yu-Gi-Oh! cards from the earliest sets including LOB, MRD, MRL, and other early releases. We use conservative methods appropriate for older card stock.
Can you fix scratches on Ghost Rare or Starlight Rare cards?
We can reduce surface scratching on holographic and specialty rare cards. Results depend on the depth of the scratches and the specific foil type. We assess each card and advise before proceeding.
Do you work on both TCG (English) and OCG (Japanese) Yu-Gi-Oh! cards?
Yes. We restore Yu-Gi-Oh! cards from all regions, including TCG (English, European) and OCG (Japanese, Korean, Asian-English) printings.
Is it worth restoring Yu-Gi-Oh! cards for grading?
For high-value cards, restoration can significantly improve presentation before a grading submission. We always advise honestly on whether restoration makes financial sense for your specific cards.
