Twenty years ago, I sent a T206 Cobb off to be 'restored'...
let's just say I no longer believe in restorations. IMHO, you risk a lot when you look to have this done. At best, it will always be listed as 'altered'. Perhaps, the situation is different for photos - my experience is only with a card.

Thanks for the info! The photo i was thinking of restoring is attached. There is a tear in the middle portion. I believe it would come out as a type 1 circa 1936 Dimaggio photo based on the signature/young Dimaggio. Do you think its worth restoring, or leave as is?

Hi Drew. Great photo! I saw the thread and thought I would share the results of a recent photo I restored (I'm a paper conservator). You may recognize the guy in the photo
The original photo itself was worked on and restored, nothing digital here. The photo had multiple tears, tape stains and ink on it.
