Restoration of collectable US currency is also acceptable. The grading service gives a short description of the repair and uses the word Apparent under the condition grade. Opening bid on the $5 is $600 and the $10 is $2400.

What if one of those bills had "Apparent: 1/4 of this bill was torn off; replaced"?

A funny thing is even if the extensive restoration of the poster was disclosed, you think it would still get lots of bids as it's clearly a nice looking item.

Josh, this is it? No before pictures, no link to GCC's website for before and after?

To say the work is virtually undetectable is a stretch also come on man, what gives? Why does everything have to be so freaking difficult?

It’s really simple this is a heavily damaged genuine G20 banner that has been professionally restored by one of the best restoration companies in the world to look as original as possible.

It serves a great value to the collector as it looks NRMT and can be had for a fraction of the price when compared to an unrestored NRMT copy. Which may not be found as the nicest examples are currently tied up in private collections. So with only 6-7 of these around this may be your one chance etc.

It is what it is why not let it sell as such, why walk a fine line of just enough info?

Seriously...that's ridiculous IMO not to include the before picture of this item.

Pathetic! I guess this is one more auction house I cannot trust. It is amazing to me that somebody who has been in the hobby as long as Josh Evans just does not get it.

Sad isn't it Jim. Greed has reared it's ugly head yet again.
