Hal LewisSorry Scott ... but I was serious.
Of course, I have no idea what the restoration would cost, so that might be why you don't believe me.
My way of looking at it is that the Wright is already trimmed and therefore NOT worth a lot... so someone would like it a lot better if it were part of a whole card.
I am also operating under the assumption that these "restoration" jobs will leave the cards looking like PSA 9's when all is said and done.
If this is true, then I think the Harry Wright card (restored) would be more worthwhile than the trimmed version of the card.
But again... if this type of procedure ALWAYS costs $5,000 ... then probably not. Although the Wright card is a rare card, so someone might still want to do it.
