I think the folks that restored the card did a fabulous job, but the end result is a hobby novelty. The concept of the border of a card being a "mount" for the image is new to me. I understand the general idea of how this restoration was done, but to me a card is a single entity. What if I managed to obtain the top two thirds of a Four Base Hits Kelly and the bottom two thirds of a Four Base Hits Kelly and surgically trimmed and attached them to make something indistinguishable from a Kelly with a deep crease? What exactly have I created? To me it's not an altered card, but two cards attached together, the same as in the example in this thread.
