IMHO, restoration is a trend that is gradually making its way into the hobby, and insofar as it is done with transparency, as Leon suggests, I believe you will find that it will become more and more prevalent, most often with extremely rare and significantly damaged cards. It's kind of like info technology--there just won't be any stopping it. I don't know if I'd ever participate myself, though. One of my favorite cards is my 1947 Tip Top Bread Kiner rookie, which is a fairly tough one to come across. Someone wrote "51 homeruns in 1947" on its face in fountain pen, which I actually kind of like. It adds a period touch to a card someone before me probably treasured as much as I do!
Boy--536 posts as I write this--as many as the Mick hit homers! Maybe I should stop now! Best, guys, Larry Last edited by ls7plus; 01-16-2013 at 12:40 AM. |

The worst thing about that Wagner restoration is that they destroyed other T206 cards to add a boarder and back to this card. Although people are free to do what they want, I can't imagine how a T206 fan would allow them to cut up another T206 to improve his card.

Mike, those '52s are beautiful, and this raises a bit of an ethical conundrum for me.
Obviously cards that have been cleaned should be considered restored. But there are different levels of restoration. Removing writing from a card is not the same as adding paper to a card, or repairing a tear. Another donor card is not destroyed in the restoration process.

I see the 'after' cards are much yellower than the 'before' cards and the Rosen has distinct rectangular areas of yellow. What was your method?
