VCBC #7, July 1996, Card Restoration - An Idea Whose Time Has Come

[cannonballsun]

There's another post somewhere with an article that has an interview of a lady who's a restoration expert for one of the auction houses. At least that's how I remember it. She restores items other than cards for the auction house (at least we hope so).
In this article she talks about restoring a 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig, and brags that she was able to get it graded.
Once again, very interesting reading, to say the least.

What all this I hear about getting an altered card past a third party grader? How could that happen?? And wouldn't their guarantee cover it if it did???

Nowadays TPG's only guarantee their opinions, right or wrong. It is guaranteed to be their opinion though. What a farce.
