I have no problem imaging that there could be a legitimate market for restored old baseball cards, and there seems to me to be some real skill involved. The trick is the buyer has to know what they're buying. Sadly that's not what's happening in the card market, and it seems like the grading companies are largely complicit if not mostly to blame.
Sure, if it's fully disclosed and there is a way to ensure subsequent buyers can't be deceived.
