Restore Your Cards
Our All-Inclusive Card Restoration Service
GS GameOn offers an all-inclusive restoration and cleaning service for your damaged collectible cards. The service includes a complete analysis of the card, front and back, to identify all its features and issues such as waviness, chipping, indentations, minor creases, dirt, fingerprints, light scratches, holo cleaning, factory errors, cutting imperfections and raised corners.
Our team of experts assesses the type of damage and proposes the necessary work, guaranteeing optimal results without compromising authenticity. We do not apply any protective film, and the restoration is grading-oriented, minimizing (but not eliminating) the risk of the card being considered 'altered'.
Our service is one of the best on the market: after the preliminary analysis, we provide personalized advice on what can be done to improve your card. It's ideal for preparing cards for grading, upgrading the sub-grades and increasing the market value.
Restoration and Pre-Grading Analysis can also be requested directly from our grading service form, as additional services for all grading companies.
Our Services
1. Complete Cleaning
Each card is carefully examined by our specialized team to find and remove any residue of dirt, dust, fingerprints, black spots or impurities that could compromise the final grade. This process is carried out with the aid of a digital microscope, which makes it possible to analyze every detail with extreme precision.
2. Holographic Restoration
Cards with holographic finishes are particularly sensitive to scratches and surface marks. We carry out targeted work to improve the brilliance of the holography, using specific products that make it possible to minimize the most superficial marks.
3. Reducing Indentations
We work to reduce any signs of bending and pressure points as much as possible, and to restore the card's flatness. The effectiveness depends on the level of damage, but the goal is to give the card new life.
4. Reducing Creases and Chipping
We treat creases, chipping, raised corners and waviness to improve the overall appearance of the card. Thanks to our advanced techniques, we achieve a remarkable improvement.

Pre-Grading Analysis
The Pre-Grading Analysis is a service dedicated to those who want to know the real potential of their card before sending it for grading. Our team examines the card with a digital microscope and professional measuring tools to give you a complete technical assessment, useful for deciding whether to proceed with grading and with what expectations.
Card condition
In-depth examination of surface, corners, edges, holography and back to identify every issue that could affect the final grade.
Centering analysis
Measurement of the front/back centering ratios to estimate the impact of this parameter on the overall grade.
Grade estimate
An indicative assessment of the potential grade based on the criteria of the main grading companies, to guide your decision.
Detailed report
You receive a clear summary of the card's strengths and issues, with advice on any preparatory restoration work.
Important note: this is an indicative estimate based on internal criteria; the final judgment remains solely at the discretion of the grading company (Grader). Any discrepancies in the centering or final grade are not attributable to the service and entail no liability.
