To Repair or Not.... That Is The Question...
Posted By: Brad Green
I got a card from our esteemed moderator a few days ago. I have been calling it a 1929 World Champions Premium; Leon was calling it a 1929 Philadelphia Premium. Either way, it's uncataloged. The card has several tack holes, some writing, a crease and some uneven toning. No big deal. But, I thought I would try to "repair" the image to remove the tack holes, etc. |

The tack holes and "pitcher" written on the bottom do not bother me, but the writing on the hat definitely detracts from the original image. The repaired image is more appealing as it retains the toning and other age-related imperfections without the intentional damage. |

The real question is, how did you remove the ink without tearing up the card or leaving any sort of mark? |

The actual card has not been modified at all. I would not do that. All changes were made to the scan of the card via Adobe Photodeluxe. In my original post, I said "I thought I would try to "repair" the image to remove the tack holes, etc." The key is that I repaired the digital image and not the card. |

that makes more sense. I was going to say that if you had figured out how to remove ink and then get the slabbers to grade it, you'd have a goldmine of a business oppurtunity on your hands. I actually kind of like the touch up on the hat. Give it some character. |

this is what I did with my beat up Willis that has a hole punch in it and heavy creases. |

My vote is: do not repair. The original owner did not deface the card, he believed that he improved it. Now those modifications are a part of the card's history. And I do not think that they detract from the card at all (well the hole is not an enhancement, but the position ID and hat art is fine). |
