you and I and a few other "purists" not trying to label us or anyone, I think Jeff might agree and Barry ect.....
This sort of restoration should never make it into cards.......it opens the flood gates !!! this, to me, would ruin part of our hobby in a way.....
forgers and restorers will become synonamous
there is almost a beauty to cards that may have been well loved and creased and some paper loss, but those are the scars of time.....
I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder.....
hate to use the analogy, fake boobs feel "hard" when touched!
nice to look at, but they are the doctors creation!
that is a whole other discussion
I wouldn't play with what God created!
God also created the Wagner card.....
yes, I like restored cars, especially when you are driving it for safety......an old muscle card with new suspension and brakes are a safety issue, but I still love the "herky jerky " steering of the original muscle car!!
these alterations may enhace the look of titties or handling on a car.....but when it comes to cardboard, it is just not right!!
not all change is good, especially some of the political climate now adays....
but I do know one thing, excepting recreations like this may aid in the further pollution of out hobby...
some asshole will "enhance a t206" by autographing it themselves.....soon cards will have "BUILT UP RESTORED CORNERS" OR "BEAUTIFUL NEW COLOR AND GLOSS"
and all we will have to rely on is a "restorer"
