GOOD QUESTIONS.

Clear answers. No false promises.

Which cards can OakLab assess?

Pokémon, other trading card games, sports, vintage and collectible cards. Suitability for treatment is assessed individually, taking the card’s material, finish, condition and value into account.

Can you guarantee a higher grade?

No. OakLab does not guarantee grade increases or grading outcomes. Restoration may affect eligibility or treatment by third-party graders. Please check your chosen grading company’s policies first.

Will you start work without my approval?

No. You receive the proposed treatment and pricing before work begins. Only the agreed treatment is carried out.

How much will treatment cost?

The Lab Menu shows provisional starting prices. Your final quote depends on your card’s value, condition and the required treatment. High-value cards are individually assessed.

Where does my card go after treatment?

Cards are documented, securely packed and returned directly to you. OakLab does not submit cards to a grading company on your behalf.
