A hobby that got out of hand

Ase Cards started the way most good things do — by accident. I have loved cards since I was a kid and somewhere along the way I started fixing my own. A soft corner here a little grime there. One card turned into a stack and the stack turned into friends asking if I could do theirs too.

This is not a factory and I am not a grading company. It is one person at a desk with good light steady hands and a lot of patience. Every card that shows up gets the same care I give the cards I keep for myself.

What I believe

A card carries a memory. The pack you opened the trade you made the player you watched. When a card gets tired I think it deserves a chance to look loved again instead of getting tossed in a shoebox. That is the whole reason this exists.

I keep it honest. I will tell you what I think I can do and what I cannot. Some cards are too far gone and some are better left alone. If a card is not a good candidate I would rather say so than take your money.

How I work

Every order is logged and photographed before I touch anything. I work slowly and I check often. When the cards are done I pack them carefully and send them home. You can follow each step from your account so you are never wondering where your cards are.

The honest part

Restoration carries risk and I will never pretend otherwise. A restored card may come back marked as altered if it is later graded and damage is always possible during shipping or the work itself. I do everything I can to avoid it but you should know the trade-off before you send anything in. The full details live in the terms.
