Ted ZanidakisI am not sure what you are seeing on my scan.......but, I will describe this card prior
to it being restored. All 4 corners were very "rounded" and there was a crease across
the card a thigh level. That was the extent of the degraded condition of the card
when I acquired it 1987. It would have graded no better than a poor Vg.
Whether this card would get passed a Grader, nowadays, will remain academic; as, I
don't ever intend to submit it for grading.
My point is that this restoration occured 18 years ago. Nowadays, there are professional
restorers with new technology that can restore anything (much less BB cards) to such a
high degree, that there is no way that Grading Co. with their present techniques can detect.
It's done everyday in the Art world and in the Vintage Car restoration industry.....so what
makes one think it's not possible with a little piece of cardboard ?
