So what do you think:

(a) is it even POSSIBLE to undo restoration?

(b) if it were, would you do it?

© Is there any trend: is PLOD becoming more or less stigmatized over time?

A-no. You can't unrestore cleaning. Book will forever be "plod". You could remove pieces, color touch and tear seals in theory (though you might be left with a mess) but you can't unclean a chemically cleaned book

B-see a (no)

C-yes. Definitely reverting back to days of old where resto is not as stigmatized.

The reason, I believe, that plods are frowned upon is that so many folks had, previous to cgc , bought books they were led to believe we're unrestored , only to send to cgc and unexpectantly receive restored grades. That's where the "purple label of death" came from. Restored books have always had value in the market, but this general "plod" mentality will continue to slowly shift back to more positive.

 

Thanks for giving me hope on ©, and saving me the wasted effort of (a).

Do you buy into the notion that the cover may not be by Baker after all?

I guess that if even Vadeboncoeur thinks it is, it probably is. (A lot of other Baker GGA covers I like better, though. )

Can you recall where and when this was debated? CBM perhaps?
