Really! French polish the label? isnt that like way overkill! The value is in the stone and proof of that is that recently a Larger then usual Escher
sold on a popular auction site, final price was 3 times the price they usually fetch and the label was not even half there and all beat up!
And we have yet to hear about an Escher collector! And fascinating that all that value comes from a hone that was once cheaper then a common swaty! proof is in the link!
