Yes... provided the repair was well executed. If it's an obvious or poorly done repair, it might not increase the value much. But if it's well done, it should help a lot. Many collectores buy vintage trophies for their aesthetic value, and to replace a missing bat, glove, arm, etc is usually a no-brainer.
What you must determine is whether the cost of the repair will exceed the increased value of the trophy. If the trophy is a valuable piece of $300 (or more), I would say "yes". If under $300, the repair process may not be worth your time and trouble.
Hope this is helpful,
Mark
