Restoring cards is seen as "altering" to some collectors and grading companies

This Kangaskhan is rarely auctioned off, but when it does, expect to pay a high price

@pancakestak: I will soon take more pics to do a comparison

Some players just arent interested in the codes at all, particularly collectors and kids at league, and trading decently for them is another great way to get a collection

Other players may have different reasons to keep a large collection of cards, for instance I know a player who tries to collect one of every card thats printed including one of every promo card

Services like PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator) and Beckett Grading Services (BGS) authenticate the card and assign a numerical grade from 1 to 10
