Hi Al. Thanks for weighing in. I was primarily thinking of the 52 Mantle. With the exception of Mantle cards, I don't pay much attention to the market. I would say your theory is probably correct. I wouldn't imagine the phenomenon extends much beyond the 52 Mantle, with the exception of T206 Wagner. I saw that someone recently had one restored, which suggests to me that at least someone thought restoring it would increase the value.
That said, would you ever restore a card? I've seen your Mantles, and they clearly don't need it. But, if your PSA 8 had a spot of paper loss on it, would you have it fixed? I generally like to leave things as they are, but with this one card I feel like there is a financial incentive to go against my instincts.
