Spalding & Reach G&B cards existance verified

Posted By: Paul

I agree with Andy that restoring the Burkett enhances its desireability and that there's nothing wrong with it. I doubt anyone in the market for this card would be unaware of the restoration, even 50 years from now. It's fairly well known that there is only one of these, and Andy has made no secret of what he's doing.

But I'm not sure the restoration increases the value that much. To me, the value should be equal to the value of the unrestored card plus the cost of the restoration. If I was willing to pay (just for the sake of argument) $50K for Andy's restored card, and he un-did the restoration, I should still be willing to pay $50K minus the cost of restoration, and then pay for the restoration myself.
