Default Mel Ott's HR 511 Scorecard Restoration Thoughts

I recently acquired a couple of historic NY Giants scorecards and am seeking opinions and recommendations regarding restoration of one of those. It is the program scorecard from the Giants vs Phillies game played on April 16 1946, opening day home game for the Giants. Of course, no one knew at the time that this would be the last game in which he hit a home run, career home run number 511. It would also be a game in which Mel acquired his last 2 RBI's. Ott was injured in the next game that would basically end his baseball career.

The scorecard shows signs of age, and the front page has come loose from the program. Other than some other wear and tear it's not in very bad condition.

I would like to know the forum's opinion if it would be worth having the program restored. If so, if anyone has recommendations regarding a person, or company, that restores such items. Pictures attached.

Thanks in advance.
