Albie O'HanianI have bought restored cards (unknowingly) and sent cards away to be restored. I like the idea as long as everybody is up front about the situation. BMW ran an auction where there was full disclosure about the cards and they got a good price. I have always thought that removing items (creases, pen marks) from cards is less offensive than building up cards. Depending on the price, I would probably rather have a restored Mickey Mantle rookie than a card that did not present well at all. There should be a place in the hobby for restoration but there are too many people who do not disclose items and use deceptive "restoration" to their own advantage.
