Grading and Cleaning Sports Cards:

Initial Assessment:
Upon receiving raw and ungraded cards, inspect for visible damages, whitening, soft corners, and edge chipping. Compare the condition with PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator) and other grading service guidelines.

Cleaning Process:
Clean the cards gently using your breath and a paper towel. Huff on the card, similar to steaming up a window, then gently rub with a paper towel using a "wax on, wax off" motion. Ensure the card's corners are not damaged during this process.

Protective Coating:
Some cards may have a protective coating that may be carefully removed if it has scuffs or scratches. Peel it off gently, starting from a corner, ensuring the card itself isn’t damaged.

Inspecting for PSA Grading:
Identify which cards are good candidates for PSA grading, looking at aspects like corners, edges, surface, and centering. Compare cards with existing graded cards to establish a benchmark.

Considerations for Specific Card Types:
Different cards, such as chromium or foil cards, require specific attention and careful handling due to their susceptibility to surface damage and edge wear. Ensure you know the specifics of grading particular card types.
