On the bright side Bill, there are only a handful of cards that are, in my opinion, potentially worth the cost of storing--T206 Wagner, 52 Mantle, etc. People should not be purchasing high grade examples of those cards without them being graded, or the person having some knowledge and inspecting them in person. So, my concerns about someone trying to scam someone down the line are slightly relieved by that.
Restoration is a difficult question, and I am glad everyone weighed in. In the end, I will probably never restore any of my cards--soak; have paper added, re-coloration, etc
