This is only meant to give everyone an idea of the scope of work and to a degree how the work of restoration was done

Thank you for this, very informative.

I have zero issue with a card being restored as long as it's designated as such. The line unfortunately gets blurred when restored/altered cards get the number designation.

Previous thread on this card - I'd prefer it in it's original form

Definitely think it looks better restored. Not for me though. In art it’s acceptable to restore and in cards it is not. Never understood that.

If art was restored as poorly as that card was it would not be acceptable.

agreed I think the restoration should have and could have been better. Just because it looks better than it was does not mean it is up to Restoration standards. and to me they fell short

Yes. I'd be happy to own a properly restored copy, but in this particular case I liked it more as a beater.
