I don't have a problem with it if disclosed and it is commonplace with any museum.

The issue is that at this time you are likely devaluing the piece with restoration due to collector preference. These trends come and go with collectables and can turn on a dime, much like what happened with the classic car market and that unrestored barn finds are now worth 3-4 times their restored brethren. This was not the case 20 years ago.

If you accept the risk to investment and are always honest about these things, do as you please in my book.

In my personal opinion that Just So is so far gone, it is a logical choice (wish they would have added back the hangers)...the Hans and Robinson poster, not so much.
