Card Restoration....the REAL Grader's Fear

[Archive]

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

With all due respect to you, Dave......I had this card restored back in 1988 by a close
friend who restored paper type memoribilia as a hobby. He was very good at this, as is
evident in this card. He stopped doing any restoration back in 1990.

This card will follow me to my grave. I hesistated to even show it to anyone. It is in
my 1941 Play Ball set (of which most of the cards are of this condition....unrestored).

However, I thought that members of this Forum should be aware of the quality that
many professional restorers are capable of.....and showing this card speaks louder
than all the ranting going on this Forum lately regarding "amateur" altering of cards;
and, who are the "bad guys".
