Hey folks! We've been made aware of some stores trying to pass off restored cards without declaring them. Whilst restorations can look impressive things like dent removal and pressing can cause grading companies to reject a card as Altered. So make sure you know the risks associated if you do knowingly purchase or send your cards off for restoration.

It's a practice we here at Beer and Pretzel Gaming refuse to engage in. So keep your eyes peeled and always check your cards to make sure no one's trying to get the upper hand!

And as with all our recent artwork a big shout out to Keavy for creating this piece!
