Default To Repair or Not.... That Is The Question...

Posted By: Brad Green

I got a card from our esteemed moderator a few days ago. I have been calling it a 1929 World Champions Premium; Leon was calling it a 1929 Philadelphia Premium. Either way, it's uncataloged. The card has several tack holes, some writing, a crease and some uneven toning. No big deal. But, I thought I would try to "repair" the image to remove the tack holes, etc.

The actual card and the repaired card are shown below. Which one do you think looks better? Even though the repaired card no longer has tack holes, etc, I think the vintage look and the "class" of the card are gone in the repaired version. I still like the original card, even with the tack holes, etc. are gone.
