MWAnother idea I think would be interesting would be for the members of this forum to collectively submit a "damaged" or problematic vintage sports card (and/or photograph) to another professional restoration service and then document the results.
Although I have never done business with this organization, another forum member was once considering getting some restoration work done by the Chicago Conservation Center -- http://www.chicagoconservation.com/home.html.
I know that one of the major auction houses has employed their services with very good results and I think engaging in such an experiment would add some very useful knowledge about restoration to this forum.
After the restoration work is done, the card could be circulated to various forum members who could them post their findings/observations. What do others think?
