I think restored is a better description if you think of it logically as a consumer for this card. It should not be seen as a more generous grade over authentic or authentic altered.

Restored by definition means that the entire card has been changed, which it has. An auth or auth altered does not describe the full breadth of change. It could in that grade make someone think it just had a press or little recolor. A restoration explains that this has had almost everything done.
