CatAlthough to call the restoration "extensive" would be an understatement, the outcome was a beautiful card. I think Andy B did the right thing by having the work done in this manner.
If you want to have the card for the purpose of looking at it for hours on end, then I think the card is for you. It presents very well.
If you want the card for the addition to your collection because you like unaltered, gradeable cards, without a myriad of issues, then it's probably not for you. I suppose most hardcore card collectors, like the people on this board, would pass on it.
