    Cleaning/Preping Cards for Grading?

    Is there anything you can do to clean or prep your cards prior to sending them in that may help with getting a higher grade?

    I have a few Bowman Chrome and SP cards that I am sending in to get graded. How would you recommend cleaning these?

    Yeah, what you want to do is grab a bottle of windex and a paper towel and really make sure to spray it down good. Then grease it all over with the paper towel so its really shiny!! FOR SURE YOU'LL GET A 10 THEN! No, really, you're insane. Just send the card in - you don't PREP a card...you don't fix a bent corner. What is is what its.

    I do have a couple "Baby Cotton wash cloths" that I gently wipe refractor type(Heck most cards) with to make sure no finger prints, or other debris remain.
    But I do this with all my cards ;)

    Other than triple checking with my 10x loupe(Morning sun, day light, halogen)there's really not much "Prep" work with cards.
