Nope, my opinion on the restoration wouldn't change, even if said restoration is disclosed. Altering the card in any way is a big no no for me. I cannot speak for anybody else, but if somebody takes a card that has become damaged through normal handling, trying to reverse that damage is unnatural to me.

I'm with Bill in that restoration of a card is a no-no. Especially a post war card that is fairly plentiful. There are enough high grade 52 Mantles out there that altering a lesser condition example is just not necessary.
Just my opinion. AndyH .

You can legally do it, so long as you disclose at sale that it was restored. You can do whatever you want to any baseball card, as long as you disclose that it's been altered. The legal problem with the Gretzky Wagner wasn't any alterations, but the lack of disclosure.
