Now that many vintage items are reaching hundreds if not thousands of pounds in value and significant historical importance, do you think we are going to see more restoration attempts? I'm not talking about an idiot with a marker pen colouring in tears on cardbacks, I'm thinking more along the lines of professional restorers who would usually work on centuries old books or paintings. I'm sure it must be possible to repair creases and tears on cards, cracked bubbles etc properly if you know what you're doing.
This would obviously be a minefield for collectors, what if the repairs were so good it was impossible to tell?
