I have no problem with restoration either, especially when it is done well. It would like the the auction companies to show the “before” pictures alongside the “after” pictures in their catalogs.

Wagners restored face is too rough for my liking.

Just isn’t appealing to me.

It looks like they messed up the nose. It is not Honus Wagner, but Honus, don't call me Jimmy, Durante!

My choice would be the original with warts and all, not Wagner version 2.0

I'm fine with restoration as long as it's disclosed about the card. However, what happens if someone cracks this out and then resubmits it? There's no guarantee the restored indication is still there on the new flip. In this case, there are few enough Wagners that it may be easy to figure it out just by looking for previous pictures, but for other restored cards, that may not be the case.

I am not high on restorations of cards as I feel it is a form of altering the cards. I like them as is.

With that said I understand it and we often see artwork, instruments, and other pieces restored to their original form.

And they often look amazing when it is done and done run. Although I think this restoration was not as good as it could have been.

and it is disclosed as restored so their is transparency so the bidders can chose if they want it or not.

With that said I would be happy to have that card in either condition. but if I had the choice I would pick the original condition.

From an investment point of view alot of the newer money in the hobby and not necessarily true collectors would picked the restored piece

I am estimating $1.7 million
