Restoration question - Card vs. books/etc...

Posted By: Dave Williams

Why is it OK and increase the value of books/paintings/etc... to have a professional attempt to restore an old books binding or touch up a painting, but if I erase pencil marks on the back of a card, I've somehow devalued the card by "altering it?"

Does that make any sense?
