Let me start with the notion that I have always been uncomfortable with people doctoring cards so I am NOT in favor of this practice. I met a card doctor from Canada at a show and he explained a bit about what he does...at first I thought cool but the more I pondered the more it seemed shady to me.

But I am curious...In almost every other collectible market restoration is a seemingly normal and accepted practice. I believe only Cards and coins is this frowned upon.

Can someone explain why its ok for paintings, sculptures and antiques to be restored but with cards its beyond taboo?

Thanks for the responses.

PS sorry if this has been explained or discussed before.
