1910 philadelphia A's cabinet restoration

I too have something along the lines of this that I would like to get restored. Anyone have a name for someone that does this? A good one, that is..

I also have a bb card that was in a scrapbook and has tape on the corners. Does anyone know of pro that would be able to remove the tape?

Dont mean to hijack the thread. Think we are looking for the same people.

I have used them in the past and was very happy with their work.

Alan is incredible. I believe Alan is the go to guy for Sothebys and Christies for paper restoration. has not done a photo for me. has done a number of paper items that came out better than I ever could have even dreamed. and he is reasonable regarding price. but not sure whether he does photos, though I would think so. Great financial pickup, and for once I think we can all agree - get the piece restored! Best

I don't have any advice on restoration but is that a real photograph? It looks like a xerox. I'm assuming you have it in hand already? Wonder if you can post a few more photos of the front. Perhaps I'm just seeing a very faded image but I can't make out what it is made of. Looks like aged brown paper on the back but the front looks like a faded xerox copy of something.

Maybe my eyes are just bad. At any rate $50 isn't a bad price to take a chance but I can't tell what it is.


edited to add: agree with others above and the buyer. Probably doesn't make sense to restore. If the images were there and it was falling apart, it would be one thing but since many of the images aren't visible, hard to imagine it being worthwhile.
