Its amazing in reading the description I think the 2 best lines are
1) "The item underwent a measure of careful and professional restoration"
2) " The restorers work consisted primarily of inpainting to hide paper loss,subdue creases,and compensate for the erosion of ink pigmantation"
I do give them credit for at least stating in the description that the card is altered but boy an academy award should be given to the writer of this description
or at the very least he should be given 5K on the final hammer price for that prolific style of writing!
Can you say lipstick on a pig.
