Just wondering anyone else's thoughts on this? If you won the card, would you restore the borders?

Would it hurt the value if is was restored?

Any thoughts?

Keeping in mind that I am not even close to being an advanced collector:

Personally, I would restore the card. It has already been trimmed and will never grade higher than "AUTH" so why not improve its appearance? Like the T206 Wagner in this auction - it was restored twice, the second time to improve it even more.

I have no idea if it would hurt the value, however.
