Service Comparison
Help users choose the correct service path immediately.
Grading and restoration should feel related, but not interchangeable. The UI should make the difference obvious before the user fills anything in.
| Category | Grading | Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Collectors seeking authentication, package choice, and a faster structured workflow | Cards that need appearance recovery, inspection, and a careful service proposal |
| Pricing style | Package-driven | Assessment-driven |
| Image requirement | Front, back, optional close-up | Front, back, optional condition close-up |
| Status emphasis | Payment, arrival, grading progress, return | Arrival, inspection, quotation, restoration, return |
UX Direction
Keep grading precise and package-led.
Grading users usually want speed, package clarity, and confidence around shipping. The interface should feel efficient, structured, and highly scannable.
UX Direction
Keep restoration careful and explanatory.
Restoration users need reassurance that condition details will be reviewed properly and that pricing may follow inspection rather than instant selection.
