My believe has always been that the word restore doesn't fit in a vintage
collectible of any kind, when you recolor a sports card or you replace a portion
of a ripped label on old bottle of wine or you straigthen a bent double eagle
gold coin, you are not restoring you're compromising the true integrity of the item, i posted a link to the so called restore Honus Wagner on post # 20
not even half the card is real an absolute joke! i hope a smart lawyer sees it
and creates a class action suit
