Thanks Peter, it is roughly 14" X 19".

Greg, I personally think you should get rid of it. I cannot imagine that someone would want that torn and tattered excuse for an image of a Matty. I will also volunteer to take it off of your hands and properly get rid of it on my wall for the next 20 years.

Agree with the rest of the guys, restore. If it was not aesthetically distracting then I would say no, but the way it is, yes. I think it will add value to it also. As always, when selling then the transparency of what was done is a must and a plus!!

Captain Obvious for sure - but low grade workmanship will leave you with a product you will not be happy with and it will lose any percieved value. Expert work will make it easier to look at, allow for easier sale when the time comes, and in most cases there is an inherent appreciation of value when compared to the cost of the restoration assuming you bought right.

Thanks all, I have emailed Graphic Conservation in Chicago because I understand they're the best, but haven't heard anything back as yet.

They are who preserved my 1903 Horner League Composite. Give them a call, they pick up the phone.

Who uses a phone to call these days? . It's all about text and email I thought!
