Pricing
We offer two services: full restoration, priced by your card's current market value, and cleaning only, priced flat per card. Look up your card at TCGplayer.com before submitting so you know where you land.
Before you submit
Not all damage can be improved. Check our FAQ to see what we can and can't fix before sending your cards in.
Still not sure? We recommend a Card Review for $5 per card. We'll assess your card and tell you honestly what's possible before you commit to a full restoration.
Restoration
Creases, indents, scratches, warping, ink and adhesive. Includes a full clean and polish. Priced by your card's current value.
| Tier | Card Value | Price |
| Tier 1 | $1 – $499 | $80 |
| Tier 2 | $500 – $999 | $150 |
| Tier 3 | $1,000 – $2,000 | $200 |
| Tier 4 | $2,000+ | 10% of card value |
Cleaning Only
No restoration work. Priced flat, regardless of card value.
| Service | Price | What It Covers |
| Cleaning | $20 per card | Front and back wipe down with card spray and polish |
Cleaning is a good fit if your card is structurally sound and you just want it looking its best, whether for display or before a grading submission. If your card has creases, indents, or scratches, you want full restoration instead. Cleaning is already included in every restoration.
Add-Ons
Available with either service above.
| Service | Price | What It Covers |
| Card Review | $5 per card | We assess your card from photos and tell you honestly what's possible |
| Estimated Grade | $10 per card | Our estimate of what your card would likely grade at, including centering measurements with front and back ratios |
| Slab Crack | $10 per slab | Card safely removed from its slab |
| Grade Prep & Ship | $20 per submission | Packaged and shipped directly to the grading company of your choice |
| Express Lane | $50 per card | Skip the line — moves your card to the front of the queue |
Two Ways to Get Your Cards to Us
Ship them in, or drop them off locally in Austin.
Shipping to us
Fill out the submission form and we'll send an invoice along with shipping instructions. Work begins once payment is confirmed.
Local drop-off in Austin
Bring your cards to Home Town Cards & Collectibles. No form needed — just walk in and we'll handle the paperwork in person.
Home Town Cards & Collectibles
1514 Ed Bluestein Blvd, Suite 101
Austin, TX 78721
(512) 876-9702
One exception: cards valued over $1,000 must be submitted through the online form, even if you plan to drop off in person. This gives us a documented record before the card changes hands, which protects both of us. Fill out the form first, then bring your card in.
Good to know
Pricing is the same whether you send one card or twenty. Every card gets the same individual attention, so we don't offer bulk discounts.
Payment is due in full before work begins. We'll send you an invoice after reviewing your submission.
Shipping is paid by the customer both directions. We recommend tracked and insured shipping when sending your cards to us.
Trades accepted as payment at 85% of card value.
