Default Trophies? worth repairing?

If you won an auction item, of a gold glove, or a trophy of a pro-player, and it had damage...would it increase value to have it slightly repaired ( broken off peice, scratches...etc..)

Thanks!

Yes... provided the repair was well executed. If it's an obvious or poorly done repair, it might not increase the value much. But if it's well done, it should help a lot. Many collectores buy vintage trophies for their aesthetic value, and to replace a missing bat, glove, arm, etc is usually a no-brainer.

What you must determine is whether the cost of the repair will exceed the increased value of the trophy. If the trophy is a valuable piece of $300 (or more), I would say "yes". If under $300, the repair process may not be worth your time and trouble.

Hope this is helpful,
Mark
