The card

This is a Nami, card number OP01-016, the Manga rarity foil from the One Piece Premium Booster released by Bandai in 2024. It came to CardRevive for restoration and the front is shown here before and after the work. The two photographs were taken under different lighting, so the foil reads differently between them.

The work

The scope for this card was corner correction plus a Priority-tier restoration. CardRevive's bench is assessment-led as standing policy: every card is physically assessed first, and the proposed service is presented for approval before any treatment begins.

The exact products and steps are trade-confidential and scoped per card, so this page documents the corner outcome rather than a method, and it carries no repair instructions. Two standing policies apply to everything we treat: we never recolour a card, and we never sell work as undetectable.

The corrected corner, in close-up

Two close-ups of the top-right corner of the back: at intake under blue LED inspection light at high magnification with a measurement scale in view, and after corner correction under normal light. Those two frames differ in lighting and magnification by nature, so they are an honest record of the same corner, not a like-for-like optical comparison.

The honest part

What a case study can and cannot promise

Any work on a card is technically alteration. We restore and conserve, we never recolour, and we never sell work as undetectable.

The grade belongs to the grading house. PSA, BGS, PCG, ACE and CGC each apply their own current standards to the physical card and make the final call. No grade is ever guaranteed, and a past result never promises the next one.

Disclosure travels with the card. If you later sell or resubmit it, describing the work honestly to the buyer, marketplace or grading house is your call as the owner. CardRevive keeps private before-and-after records and helps you make that disclosure accurately.
