    Ethics of Pressing

    so then if you use natural materials found outside, like water to clean is that restoration? currently that gets the cover cleaned designation

    If you marry pages and use the same book, is that technically bad? (other than the cgc stigmatization of the green label) If your headlights broke in 1970 and you got them fixed in 1970 with 1970 headlights is that different than getting them fixed now with 1970 headlights? Because wrongly IMO CGC says it's the same thing.

    and if you trim you aren't adding to the book, in fact you are taking away. 

     

    (I do not condone not noting restoration of any kind. The above are part of a series of ethically provocative questions. Viewer discretion is advised.)

    It depends on how your representing that car to the potential buyer. If you tell that buyer that your car is completely original and every part on that car is the part it left the factory with. Then they later find out you changed the headlights , whether they were the correct ones or not, you misrepresented the car. It’s still “factory correct” but it’s NOT all original.
