I am not high on restorations of cards as I feel it is a form of altering the cards. I like them as is.

With that said I understand it and we often see artwork, instruments, and other pieces restored to their original form.

And they often look amazing when it is done and done run. Although I think this restoration was not as good as it could have been.

and it is disclosed as restored so their is transparency so the bidders can chose if they want it or not.

With that said I would be happy to have that card in either condition. but if I had the choice I would pick the original condition.

From an investment point of view alot of the newer money in the hobby and not necessarily true collectors would picked the restored piece

I am estimating $1.7 million
