PASJDI don't know enough about them to know if restoration is considered legitimate or not, and I don't see why it would be, but I cannot BELIEVE it is legitimate to restore a card to this extent and not disclose it. I find the whole thing appalling, and I have a hard time believing the bidding would not be affected if the "before" photo was published or the details of the restoration were revealed. But again, I don't know about cabinet cards, so if I am wrong I am sure the more knowledgeable folks here can point that out.
