In 1979 I had the 206 set complete minus the big 3. As anxious as I was to get a Wagner, I would not have bought a restored one. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with having a restored card, but for me I'd prefer a dozen creases and rounded corners to a touched up one.
I was confident in 1979 that I'd finish my set by buying a Wagner, Plank & Magie for around $ 25,000. I was wrong! I never owned those players in a 206, but I felt comfort in buying other cards of them from other sets!
Restored cards are not my cup of tea. I do strongly encourage EVERYONE to collect what they like. It's YOUR hobby and you should enjoy it your way!
