Well sort of. It's certainly acceptable when necessary, such as repairing/sealing a tear which would otherwise get larger. Or replacing a rusty staple which if left unreplaced could then start to tarnish/colour the paper with which it was in contact.

But a restored comic (if detected) gets a purple label at CGC instead of a blue one. And CGC is supposed to check submissions carefully for restoration. But a purple 9.4 label commands only a tiny portion of the price of a blue 9.4 label. That's why a purple label is often termed the "purple label of death".
