card restoration Melbourne

Give a busy Victorian collection a specialist bench.

Melbourne is a large collector city, home to card fairs, competitive TCG events and active Pokemon and sports collector circles. CardRevive gives Victorian collectors a specialist restoration and grading-prep bench for the cards that scene produces: show pickups, tournament staples and long-held grails.

  • Mail-in restoration from Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat and regional Victoria.
  • Made for card-show buys, tournament pulls and long-held collection grails.
  • Pokemon, sports, MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh, One Piece and Lorcana cleaning and repair.
  • PSA, BGS, PCG, ACE and CGC grading middleman once the card is ready.

Photo assessment

Start with a photo assessment

Build the portal submission, photograph the cards, then post them to Sydney with tracking. The portal shows when the parcel is logged at the bench, and the return leg is tracked home to Melbourne.

Melbourne and Victorian collectors, tournament players and card-show regulars who want a specialist restoration and grading-prep bench without a local shop.

Why CardRevive

Big collections need per-card clarity.

A large collection means a lot of cards worth grading and a lot that are not. The portal keeps each Melbourne submission on its own record, so a multi-card batch does not turn into a guessing game about which card is where.

Melbourne submission process.

Add each card to the portal with photos so multi-card sends stay organised.

02

Post tracked

Use tracked Australia Post to the Sydney intake and keep the receipt until arrival is confirmed.

03

Approve per card

Scope, treatment, grading and return decisions are made card by card in the portal.

Can I send a batch of cards from a Melbourne card show?

Yes. Batch submissions are welcome. Each card is logged, assessed and priced on its own record, so you approve treatment card by card rather than as one lump.

How is the return trip to Melbourne handled?

Return postage is tracked, with the options and pricing shown in the portal before dispatch. Carrier delivery times are estimates set by Australia Post, whichever tier you choose.

Do you handle competitive-play cards, not just mint pulls?

Yes. Heavily played tournament cards are assessed the same way: we advise what cleaning or repair is realistic and whether grading is worth it afterwards.

Intake · Sydney

Send us your worst card.

Start the submission flow, package your cards, and ship them to the Sydney lab for assessment.

A$10 inspection per card. If restoration is unnecessary, you skip the tier fee and can grade where requested or have the card returned untreated. If our service has a problem, contact us so we can put it right.

Every card is assessed before any work. No grade is ever guaranteed, and we never recolour.
