ScottI might have said something similar already, but Mastro DID mention the mended pinholes. If the rest of the work was simply cleaning (no material added), I don't think we should have a problem with their description (other than the "appears near mint" grade) simply because they have better resources for "cleaning" than we do, as long as they mention any "residuals" such as glue traces and evidence of erased writing.
Again, it was a remarkable clean-up job and should increase the value.
