How It Works
The Card Doc is a trading card restoration and grading-prep shop in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Mail us your cards from anywhere in the US, we do the work by hand in our shop, and we ship them back ready for grading or your personal collection.
Hands-on work to fix dents, creases, edge/corner lifts, and surface grime using humidity, specialized tools, and clamps—never harsh chemicals or added materials.
A gentle surface clean, inspection under bright light, and fresh sleeving into a Card Saver. Nothing restorative, and no grade is guaranteed.
One rule up front:
We never submit cards to grading companies for you. Repeated submissions from one shop address can trigger flags with graders—returning cards directly to you protects everyone.
Choose Your Service, Tier, and Add-Ons
(Tiers, services, and add-ons lock at checkout and cannot be changed afterward)
Pick Restoration or Prep based on your card's current declared value (what it's worth right now, not its projected graded value). Every tier gets the exact same care—you are only paying for turnaround speed and the card value each tier accepts.

How to pack safely:
Arrival, Check-In, and Evaluation
(Allow 1–3 business days after carrier delivery for check-in)
We collect from our PO Box once daily. Note that carrier tracking saying “Delivered” means it reached our PO Box; your order status switches to Cards Received once we open your box, log every card, and take “before” photos.
Our Evaluation Promises:
Hands-On Work
(Order status: In Progress to Completed)
Cards go through gentle rounds of humidity, specialized tool work, pressing, and resting in clamps to coax the card's original fibers back into place. Multiple rounds are normal and built into your turnaround estimate. Every restoration finishes with full Prep.
Return Shipping
(Order status: Shipped Back to Delivered)
Your cards are placed in fresh penny sleeves and Card Savers (cracked slabs return raw in Card Savers, ready to resubmit), sandwiched between protective plates in a bubble mailer, and shipped home.

Estimates start when your status hits Cards Received (or upon arrival for Fast Pass) and do not include shipping transit time.
Prep is a surface clean, with nothing restorative. Restoration carries a risk, low but not zero, that a grader detects it or returns a card as altered.
Ordering a restoration kit from our shop ships like a standard retail order.
