Many years ago there was a restored Wagner for sale in Mastros; the restoration was later "reversed", although PSA still re-slabbed it as "authentic, altered".

I'm glad that card was brought back to it's original condition. It looks great just the way it is.

Agreed it looks great and would look great in any collection.

I do not understand why they restored this one in the first place

Maybe this one was restored during the disco days when it was only worth a few thousand? Just guessing here.

It’s. A. Wagner.

Going to sell for a small fortune. Rightfully so.

You are probably right. Actually, if they cut it in 2 they could sell it twice!

and for the Wags that had the restoration removed. Good call.

Why limit it to two? Cut it into teeny-tiny itsy-bitsy pieces and use them to make relic cards!
