Neewer LED Light

At least one of these is needed to provide enough light to help see and inspect cards properly.  I recommend getting at least one and setting it up at a 45degree angle on the work surface for proper lighting.  A second from a higher vantage point at the opposite side would be better still.

Amazon

Tabletop Tripod for LED Light

I attach the recommended LED light panel to this tripod and use it on my workspace to light the cards I'm working on.

Amazon

Lint-Free Cotton Wipes

Lint-Free Cotton Pads: These 100% cotton wipes are lint-free, soft and gentle to the nail plate. I use it to apply the card spray to a card to clean it.

Amazon

Plexiglass Plates

These plexiglass plates are used to sandwich cards between.  I like to use these after I use humidity treatments to help reshape the cards into their original thickness.

Amazon

Plexiglass Clamps

As you imagine, these are what I use to clamp the plexiglass sandwich together.

Cardboard Gold is a trusted name in card protection, and perfectly designed card savers for PSA, BGS, & SGC grading submissions, providing a secure fit to protect your cards during the grading process.

Amazon

Hobby Armor Premium 4x6 Shipping Protectors

I use these to protect the cards when being shipped.  This size is perfect for the Card Saver I and gives it full protection.

Amazon

Buffing Pads

I really like these little pads because they have a place for your fingers to go in and help secure your motion.  I use these for 'buffing' and when vigorous cleaning is required.

Amazon

Overhead Camera Rig

This is the camera rig I use when recording my live streams or recording content.  It holds your phone and the LED light recommended above and folds up nicely out of the way.

Amazon

Digital Microscope with LCD Panel

Sometimes, the only way to see issues on a card is using high magnification.  This digital microscope is perfect because it is battery powered and easy to move around.  It's great at spotlighting issues and allows you to see everything clearly on the LCD screen.

Amazon

Workspace Mat

This mat is what I use for a work surface.  It's soft and sturdy.  Highly recommended. 

Amazon

Boveda Humidity Packets

These are what I use to treat cards with humidity.  I place two of these into a plastic box with the card and allow the humidity produced to help restore the card.
