Actually, that's incorrect. It is a recognized profession, one where methodology is learned, and expertise is acquired through apprenticeship.

Examples of companies that do these restorations:

I don't think that pointing out an inaccurate statement is being confrontational, and it's not my intention to argue. I just know that a lot of people get their information about baseball card collecting from this forum, and the information presented should be as accurate as possible.

And though I've not been a member here long, I would have to say that I haven't experienced any kind of selfish agenda. I have, however, met a lot of people that display an obvious passion and respect for the sport, and the hobby.

Jose, I hope you will stay, and allow us the opportunity to change your opinion. I for one would love to read about your experiences over the years.
