Pokémon card restoration in Singapore costs between S$19 and S$99 per card at CardCureSG. Deep Clean starts at S$19 per card, Full Restoration starts at S$39 per card, and the assessment that tells you which one your card needs is free. The final price depends on the card's condition and how much work is involved, and you see the exact figure before you pay anything.

Here is what each tier includes, what pushes a card toward the top of the range, and how the cost compares with grading fees and with doing it yourself.

The price list

Free Card Assessment, S$0. Send photos, we inspect corners, edges and surface, map any scratches, and tell you what can and cannot be treated. Takes 3 to 5 business days from the time we receive your photos. No obligation to proceed.

Deep Clean, from S$19 per card. Surface cleaning, dirt and debris removal, sticky residue removal and holo scratch treatment. Turnaround 1 to 2 weeks. This is the right tier for a card that is fundamentally sound but has fingerprints, dust, residue or light holo haze holding it back.

Full Restoration, from S$39 per card. Everything in Deep Clean plus dent reduction, edge lift reduction and deeper scratch treatment. Turnaround 2 to 4 weeks. This is the tier for cards with physical wear: minor dents, edge lifts, surface-level edge whitening.

Custom Order, quoted. For 10 or more cards, or for unusual damage that needs its own plan. Volume pricing applies from 10 cards.

Express, plus 50 percent. Available on Deep Clean and Full Restoration when workload allows. Confirm before you count on it.

What moves a card up the range

"From S$19" means a straightforward card. These are the things that push the quote higher:

Number of issues. A card with residue plus a dent plus edge whitening needs three treatments, not one.
Holo surface work. Holo and reverse holo surfaces take longer to treat safely than non-holo areas.
Vintage cardstock. Base Set, Jungle, Fossil and Neo era cards have older, softer stock that needs slower, more careful work.
Edge work. Surface-level edge whitening is reduced mechanically, edge by edge. Four affected edges cost more than one.
Slab cracking. If your card is already graded and you want it restored and resubmitted, opening the slab is part of the job and is quoted at assessment.

What the price includes

Every tier includes photo documentation on receipt, before and after photos of the finished work, and return in a fresh penny sleeve and semi-rigid holder ready for grading submission. There is no assessment fee, no handling fee and no fee for turning a card down.

How it compares

Against grading fees. A PSA submission through a Singapore agent typically runs well over S$100 per card once shipping is included, and a card that comes back as a 7 because of fingerprints and residue has cost you the full fee for a grade you did not want. A S$19 Deep Clean before submission is the cheaper of the two mistakes to avoid.

Against doing it yourself. A dry microfiber cloth costs a few dollars and handles dust. Everything past dust, the popular DIY methods (toothpaste, Magic Eraser, alcohol, erasers on edges) cost nothing upfront and routinely earn an Authentic Altered label. Our guide on whether it is safe to clean a card before PSA grading covers exactly where that line sits.

Against not restoring at all. Sometimes correct. If a card already presents clean, or its damage is structural (creases, torn print layer, lifted foil), restoration adds nothing and we will say so at assessment.

When restoration is not worth paying for

The card is already grading-ready. Just submit it.
The damage is a heavy crease, a bent corner, water damage into the cardstock, or lifted holo foil. None of these can be safely treated, and we decline them.
The card's value is under the cost of the work and you are not grading it. A S$3 common with fingerprints is fine in a sleeve.

How payment works

Payment is collected after your free assessment and before any work begins, by PayNow, bank transfer or cash. You always see the exact price and scope first. If you change your mind within 12 hours of paying and work has not started, you get a full refund and the card back untouched. Once work has begun, completed labour is non-refundable. The full policy is in our Terms of Service.

How to get a quote

Send front and back photos, straight on under decent light, through the submission form or on WhatsApp. You get an honest assessment and an exact price within 3 to 5 business days. Singapore submissions only.
