<p>Paper conservators can do amazing things with old paper. It's, at least, worth investigating. </p>

<p>I think a professional framer also knows how to restore such a piece. At least the framer i let all my autographs do knows such things cause he also works for museums. Maybe just ask at a museum in tel aviv if they know somebody. But sometimes it is better to leave it like it is. I think it looks great a bit „wasted“ and old. Dont let other people tell you whats good. I also collect autographs i can afford and when i find some better i can afford i sell the old one and buy the better one.…</p>

For me i dont need 3 georgs 4 pauls 3 ringos and 3 johns... i always try to have one of them and always upgrade when i find a better looking one when i can afford it. Your john is a great start and you finally got all 4!

<p>Thanks, but I live in Israel and not in the States. I will have to check if there is someone professional in my area. I'm not sure I want to restore it. The paper is so delicate and fragile and I am afraid the autograph will be destroyed. I will have to think about it. They did a wonderful job on your piece. </p>

<p>I think you got an amazing deal. For the price, it's a fantastic find.</p>
<p>You may also be able to pay a fee to have the paper restored. This reminds me of a time when I got a discount on an item I'd wanted for years. Back in 1972, Neil Armstrong signed 1,000 lithographs to raise money for the Smithsonian. These are now worth $4,000+, which is out of my budget. But I found one that was badly wrinkled and covered with foxing spots, for about $1,000. I then paid a paper restoration company…</p>

But I found one that was badly wrinkled and covered with foxing spots, for about $1,000. I then paid a paper restoration company to help mend it. They used a de-acidifying chemical bath to remove the stains, and then smoothed the paper out. I didn't expect huge results, but it came back looking spotless and perfect. Here's what it looked like before:</p>

I went with ACA Paper Restoration, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They were so professional and quick. This restoration cost me $300, and it's a rather large print. For a smaller item like the John Lennon autograph, you may be able to get a decent restoration for under $100. I don't know if this particular item can be restored, but it can't hurt to send them an email and ask.</p> thats a great deal and I woul…tag:live.autographmagazine.com,2020-05-28:3524372:Comment:14725892020-05-28T23:21:45.781Zterrier8HOFhttps://live.autographmagazine.com/profile/terrier8HOF
