>In response to your inquiry here is our official comment regarding
>restoration when it comes to cards:
>We believe it is acceptable to remove glue, pencil, paste, stains, etc. off
>of the surface of a card as long as it in no way alters the surface. If any
>of these processes alter the surface of the card we believe that
>alteration needs to be disclosed. We believe it is unacceptable to add
>to the surface or alter the surface of a card in any way. This includes
>adding color, bleaching, filling lost paper, etc.
