autograph restoration question

I sort of thought that was the case. I appreciate your succinctness too. Could you elaborate just a little, pretty please? My guess is that touching up the autographs with anything would greatly reduce their value but the pieces they are on could be cleaned up a bit, if needed. I know my composite (I keep referring to)was deacidified and very minorly touched up in a handful of areas before I got it. I would surmise it helped the long term value, in that it will weather the elements better, as well as it helps the present day aesthetics. regards
