"Legendary" Paper Restoration in their Live Auction!

[tothrk]

There's a Plank floating around with no borders. Slap some borders on it and proceed with an auction. These items are out of my league and anyone can spend their own money how they see fit. I'm not faulting anyone for spending their $$$ on whatever they choose. In my opinion, a tiny bit of restoration leads to a moderate bit of restoration leads to major restoration leads to Channing a card in your basement. Might be a drastic summary but why return a card with "evidence of trimming" and then slab one with borders attached? Just slab it PSA "Restored" and the hobby can slowly progress to a giant gray area where everything is half original. O.K. I'm done. Sorry if I went overboard.

Man that's painful to look at.
