I personally would never buy a restored baseball card. I don't mind a trim. I don't mind a re-backing. But I could never buy that restored Wagner. It's no longer a card. To me, it would be like buying a laminated card.

they should have left it alone, the card hobby doesnt accept restoration like the art world does. but there are talented people that can restore anything. they use materials to add and fill in, fix creases and tears, like rice paper and so forth, but i think it was kind of a fad that has died out now.

I think it looked horrible before the registration. The main part of the card is the artwork, and that part has now been put in a form where it now looks presentable. Not the same as altering or trimming to deceive. Also, I don't mind it as much once I noticed that the restoration had saved real parts of the back.
