these are "cards" ....not "cars"........a huge difference!!!
1)coins are not restored or "recreated" are they
(besides cleaning polishing, distorting them)....NO ONE WOULD ADD MORE GOLD , SILVER, RESTRIKE IT???
2) what about stamps???someone going to add paper and recolor the upside airplane???????
these examples would ADD MATERIAL to something that is original thus altering the integrity of the original!!! thus changing the object...
this Wagner is a RE-CREATION" and not a "RESTORATION"
flip should state "FRANKEN WAGNER RE-CREATION" and not "RESTORED"
think about this....you can only "go by the restoration report"
what if the idiot doing the restoration forgot to add something or delete something he/she didn't do or do to the card?????it is tampered with significantly enough to change this card into something other than an original WAGNER!!!
it has foreign material added to it!!!!!!!!!!(card board from another card, foreign ink that they didn't use back then)
it is ok to soak the card and remove the paper from the back and maybe dirt on it, but that would be enough!!!
this card was altered significantly enough to ruin it!!
someone ruined this card , and some poor sap is going to buy something where technically you don't really know what was done to it!! only an invoice
I don't know, I don't like "fake boobs" either....
if your thing is paying out the asshole for something someone basically re created, more power to you!
don't get me wrong, I am obsessed with owning one, if I had this one, it would drive me nuts to the point of where I would want to trim the fake ass border off!!
THIS IS INSANITY!
I would take the die cut wagner or the wagner cut in 2 before I bought a recreation.....shit, get a reproduction and cut and paste heinie wagner on the fucker
