Condition notes and grading prep
Page-by-page notes on a Scarlet Witch key before you press, clean, or submit — including foil, die-cut hex windows, and NFT comic print-proofs.
Who it is for
Owners about to submit a chaos-magic key or deciding whether a ‘very fine’ listing is honest.
What you leave with
A defect list, press/clean recommendation, and a predicted grade band — not a guarantee.
Included
- Raking-light photographs we keep on file for you
- Notes on colour-breaking creases versus bindery tears
- Advice on whether a press is likely to help a hex-foil cover
Not included
- Actual pressing or chemical cleaning on site
- A promised CGC number
