I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that it's very cool and very common.

Thanks for the link. That took me down a rabbit hole of internet searching. It looks like there is a possible distinction between "conservation" (including "preventative conservation") and "restoration" although it gets pretty complex.

It strikes me that one major difference between these worlds (art vs baseball cards) is that such work is done in the art world out in the open by respected experts. When a vintage card is listed as having been "restored" I immediately suspect something shady.

Methinks I should have taken up picture painting for a hobby instead of sports card collecting!
