Default Restoration

Posted By: Glen V

Hopefully this thread will stay on topic...

Here is an example of a restored card. An article was written is VCBC #7 about the process of restoring it. State of the art techniques (at least then) were used that were completely reversable. Over forty hours of work went into fixing the card.

I struggled over buying a restored card, but the price of a nice Darby was out of my range and I couldn't see spending a chunk of money on a poor one with major damage. One well known dealer considered the work done to be art itself.

Your views on restoration, assuming everyone is open on what has been done?
