IMHO, the card was perfect in its original state. It is no longer the same card, rather a "Frankenstein" version of the card, if you will.... I'm not a fan of card restoration and feel that this card has lost it's "character" and now looks like a cheap reprint. It's a shame....

I could reprint this post in any comic book forum and it would fit right in. Frankenstein is the term many anti-restoration collectors use.

Different strokes for different folks. The key is that it is always disclosed.

Chris, I like the 'major restoration', for reasons mentioned previously. I think the second one was completely unnecessary.
