Scott Forrest...since I don't want to stir up the hornet's nest again, but I don't think Greg would have issue with my comments.
First, I agree with Bill that this is a minor job compared to that other card we discussed. It's tough to tell if the hole was simply pushed "back together", which would be fine, or if something more was done - can't tell from the scan.
Is it okay to press out wrinkles? It's been a while since we've had that discussion.
I was reading Lew Lipset's Old Judge compilation and found several items about restoration. One that was particularly interesting was about a guy who restored Goudeys and t206s, building up the corners to NM using paper from cards from the same issue - when tested under a black light nothing was revealed! If this was possible in the mid-80s, I'm sure it would be easy enough to patch up a hole in a Cracker Jack using card material from a common.
