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.

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.

I too would take either, but prefer the worn, untouched copy.

Once the hobby accepts restoration on cards, watch out. Because years ago, it was accepted in the comic book industry, and now it seems like there's more restored comics than untouched comics for the rare issues. Years ago, I owned a restored and unrestored Amazing Spider-Man #1, and even though the unrestored looked like a lower grade, I liked it more than the restored comic. I eventually sold both comics and the restored comic got 4 times the price of the non restored comic. Didn't expect that. I'd rather the restoration process stays away from the baseball card hobby. Once it starts, over 95 percent of the authentic or 1 graded 1952 Topps Mantles, will be restored. Because comics are like that now. The grading companies have a different color label for restored comics, and it seems like a majority of the key comics, are no longer original.
