A clever rejoinder but it does disservice to those who are genuinely involved in restoration. Folks who collect paper should EDUCATE themselves on restoration. Learn to identify it. Learn to understand the nuances of restoration and to apply those nuances to their own value set.
To just glom all restoration into a "fooling someone else" is insulting to those who are really interested in saving a rare piece, be they restorers or cutomers..
Or should we not attempt any retsorative measures on those rarely found pieces and dump them in the trash?
I thank you.
