to restore, or not to restore....
A few years back, a friend got an estimate of $8,000.00 for the restoration of three Conlon photos. I don't remember the people he approached.
Paul Messier in Appleton, Wisconsin, does restoration and authentication. Integrated Paper Services, IPS, also deals in the above. These guys aren't foxing around. I can understand repairing a photo with a nasty tear or missing emulsion, but rebuilding a missing corner of a photo is asking a lot. Some people like the water-color/ink added to a photo by a newspaper art department decades ago. I've known collectors who would trim the jagged edges off of a Conlon to make it look cleaner. It's all a matter of taste. This is a great Ruth photo as is. lumberjack
