A good paper conservator can guide you as well as some folks on our forum. I have never had anything conserved but my Horner Composite was, in a minimalist fashion, before I acquired it. I think it enhanced it and it's value. If I ever sell it there will be full transparency. Conserving paper ephemera is a bit different than cards and not frowned on as much.

It has a special spot in my Memorabilia Room!!!
Thinking about having it conserved, any thoughts??
Thanks again!! Rich
