>>47109618Nah? There’ve been complaints for AGES about the awful cleaning practices they have. PSA, BGS, and CGC all will clean cards before vaulting them, and trace amounts of the corrosive agent are left on the card (and in that forum thread, which is long as shit, a LOT of people had a ton left on the card). The actual rule is that you as the sender can’t clean it, and if they find signs of a recently cleaned card, they consider it damage.
You should NEVER grade a card unless you’re planning to sell it. That slab does nothing if the damaging agent is slabbed in there too
