I'll tell you why cards aren't restored in greater numbers: cost.
The cost of restoriation outweights any potential value boost by having it restored. The only cards you can think of that have been restored are the very expensive Wagners and Planks of the world. It's a no brainer to some collectors to restore a 7-figure Wagner if it makes it easier to sell at auction. No one however, is going to restore a $1,000 T206 Cy Young unless you didn't care about the cost of restoration. If all of a sudden cards were worth millions of dollars like pieces of art, I bet restoration would be rampant in this hobby. We'd have paper restoration experts overloaded with business from flippers/scammers wanting to boost the value of their cards for quick profit.
