💡 Card Collecting Tip:

Before submitting a card for grading, thoroughly inspect it for surface scratches, centering, edges, and corners. Use a magnifying glass and proper lighting to catch flaws you might miss otherwise. Clean the card gently with a microfiber cloth to remove dust or fingerprints, but avoid altering it in any way.
