The Wagner is a valuable commodity first, and a card second, and it should be thought of as such. |

HAS to follow the lead of other hobbies when it comes to restoration. I'm sure there are differences, perhaps subtle or not, in how each of the other hobbies you mentioned handles restored works (not to mention differing reasons for the restorations). But there's nothing that should dictate that sports cards follows suit and plays by another hobby's book. I think (stress: think) that it's probably a sign of the health of the hobby that there are enough people to be on various sides of the restoration debate. And I hope that there is enough respect for those who are against restoration, of which there are a large number, that all restoration work is divulged. If that can happen, I think both sides can be happy. |

I don't have any issue with the restoration. It is fully disclosed and the card looks 1000% times better now.

Ditto. I'd much rather have the restored version over the original,

Agree the restored version is beautiful. And it's fully disclosed that's it's restored so nothing to hide.

This card is a "FRANKEN WAGNER"
![]() restoration should be left to art .....NOT CARDS! ![]() ![]() IN MY OPINION, THEY KILLED A BEAUTY ! once something is altered, it changes the integrity of the original card.... trimming, paper loss I can live with.....card is still original in these cases... this card has been basically "created" and is not original..... someone ruined a masterpiece and spent 14 k to do it! ![]() this is insanity.....the card is WAY overpriced right now! card in current state should be a 100 k card or under...... If I had this, I would spend multi k to see if I could get it "unrestored" although I think in this case might be impossible.... heck, while they were at it, they should have made the background pink and changed han's hairstyle ![]() |

I posted earlier in this thread how I hated someone restoring a card then selling it. However, last nite I was watching a Mecum auto auction on tv and I realized that I loved the restored cars they were selling and what is the difference between them and the restored baseball card.
The restored cars I love have a bunch of new parts added that look like the original, they have been re-painted, and so on. It really made me re-thing my attitude towards restoring cards. I dont think I am so negative about them anymore!!
