Deep cleaning
Dirt, fingerprints and surface residue removed without touching the inks, the texture or the holographic finish.
ABRA. KADABRA. RESTORED.
Alakazam Labs is the workshop that specialises in conservation restoration for collectible trading cards. Cleaning, pressing and grading preparation — with watchmaker's precision and a pinch of magic.

What we do
Four spells,
Four spells,
one workshop.
Every card that comes into the workshop gets its own treatment. No shortcuts: conservation techniques, precision tools, and a great deal of patience.
Pressing & flattening
Controlled humidity, temperature and pressure to take out curling, waving and light creases.
Edge & corner care
Targeted work on whitening, fraying and micro-abrasions: the details that separate an 8 from a 10.
Grading preparation
Pre-submission analysis, centring assessment and full guidance for PSA, BGS and CGC.
Conservation restoration, done in the open: every treatment is photographed, documented and always declarable.
