In general I am not concerned with "Professional Restorers" because I collect only low grade pre-war; mostly T206 now.

Respectfully Ted, why ruin a perfectly good VG DiMaggio and support a professional restorer?

I embrace my VG (and lesser)cards with all the passion that is inside me and deeply appreciate the history of the issue and the physical signs of the particular cards journey to my hands.

The Graders fear is not the Professional Restorers; it's the hobbyists and/or dealers greed they fear which promotes and enriches this type of service.

There certainly seems to be a lot of high anxiety in the high end card hobby market, that I, for one, am glad I'm excluded from.
