There's another post somewhere with an article that has an interview of a lady who's a restoration expert for one of the auction houses. At least that's how I remember it. She restores items other than cards for the auction house (at least we hope so).
In this article she talks about restoring a 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig, and brags that she was able to get it graded.
Once again, very interesting reading, to say the least.

What all this I hear about getting an altered card past a third party grader? How could that happen?? And wouldn't their guarantee cover it if it did???

Nowadays TPG's only guarantee their opinions, right or wrong. It is guaranteed to be their opinion though. What a farce.

Terrific look back at VCBC! As someone who coordinated multiple art 19th century portrait restorations for a historic church, I'd rather see a good-looking card than a good-looking holder. Our hobby contains many sacred cows and I'd rather that beef be beauty over scarcity.
