As I said, if the restoration in this case is no big deal, then the consignor should have no objection to its disclosure. But something tells me the consignor would have been furious if PWCC had posted a picture of the SGC 50 in the auction and explained the work done by Towle or whoever did it.
Can't have it both ways. If it's acceptable and even a good thing as some seem to be saying, you should have no objection to disclosure.

Well said Peter. Can't agree more.
