vintage card restoration/recolorization
Posted By: freunpe
I know that many in hobby consider card restoration taboo, but I have some old cards that I would like to have restored to help bring out some of the original color, etc. Does anybody know who does this? Is there somebody who is in the business of card restoration? |

There was some pretty impressive bidding on that lot--out of seven bids three were made by an unregistered user and three by BJGIRL. Enough said on the latter. |

I used to have the link for Gone With the Stain but lost it in a computer crash a couple of years ago. Anyone have it? MW? |

Can you tell the difference, I have never seen a restored card. If so, how and is it real noticable? Any input would be great. Thanks. |

Most restoration is easy to identify if you know what to look for. Also, realize that professional restoration is not cheap, and is restored for primo items. |

will show rebuilt corners, added colors etc. One can be bought for a few dollars in a store or on ebay. It's a great item to have. Good to use to check card buys from ebay. |

MW? Curious to know if the only way you knew this was restored was from the customer him/herself or if it was clear under blacklight that it was restored? |

While paintings are restored all the time, restoring a card seems like taboo. I can see the views against doing a hack job to make some extra money. However some rare cards should be restored/cleaned up - the fire damaged Darby Chocolates for instance, that will probably fall apart soon unless 'fixed'. |

There is a variety of complimenting techniques and methods for the identification of restoration, and it would be essentially impossible for even the most sophisticated forger or restorer to 'beat all the tests.' Even the best restorer or forger learns the figurative meaning of Heisenberg's Principal of Uncertainty. The same techniques used to beat one test, invariably will make other tests fail. Most of the qualities-- fluorescence, ir, etc-- are not independant to each other. When one changes the fluorescence, for example, one will simultaneously be changing other qualities. |

It really did a good job of describing how restoration is done, featuring an interview with Daniel Paul of Rags to Riches Restorations, and a Darby Chocolates Mordecai Brown "test case", with before and after pictures. It also showed restorations of the back of another Nagurski, a t206 Piedmont back, a '33 Ruth front, and a SK Cobb front. Since that issue is tough to find, it might be an article worth reprinting. |

If anyone is interested, I have portable blacklights available, new in box, for $25 delivered US Priority Mail (Paypal OK.) They have a 6" tube, operate on AA Batteries & have a plug in for AC adapter (adapter not included.) These are great for detecting card alterations & also work well on hotel bedspreads! I have several available and YES Brian, thank you for selling them to me two years ago. |
