Restoration increases value for certain pieces today. What types and will this last?
In many different fields of collecting, restoration increased the value of an item - for a time - only to have market demand return to rewarding original condition.
Pedal cars, actual cars, motorcycles, comics, even arguably baseball cards (T-206 Wagners were professionally restored), before professional grading which did not reward restoration.
So what fields of sports collecting currently reward restoration? Is this a positive from a hobby/historian perspective? Will this last from a financial perspective?
