Sports Card Restoration Near You. By mail.

Most towns don't have a sports card restoration specialist down the street. You don't need one. Send your cards to The Mint Workshop with a prepaid, insured FedEx label and track them every step of the way.

Why mail-in works better

Specialists, not a side service

Restoration is what we do every day, not something a card shop offers in the back room now and then.

Same intake for every card

Every box is opened on video and counted against your order, and each card is scanned in and labeled before any work begins.

Insured both ways

Add insurance for the trip to us with your prepaid label. Return shipping is insured by The Mint Workshop, with signature required.

Tracked the whole time

Follow your order through each stage on your submission tracker, with email and text updates.

How to send your cards

  1. Submit online. Fill out the submission form. Each card's service tier is set by its value, and you'll see your price before checkout.
  2. Get your label. Our prepaid FedEx 2Day label is $35 round trip and is emailed within 1 business day.
  3. Pack it right. Each card goes in its own top loader, closed with a team bag — no tape. Include a printout of your order with the order number showing. Our packing guide walks you through it.
  4. Drop it off. Take your package to any FedEx location near you.
Packing tip: Don't send cards in rigid mailers. Our intake machines take top loaders only, and rigid mailers incur a repacking fee.

What we restore

  • Dirt and grime from years of storage and handling.
  • Wax and gum stains on vintage cards — see baseball card restoration.
  • Wavy and curled cards, flattened back down.
  • Creases and bends, reduced as part of the full service — see sports card crease repair.
  • Lifted edges and soft corners from a slight bend, as long as they're not torn.

We can't fix whitening, chipping, missing paper, water stains, or ink and marker. Full details are on our sports card restoration page.
