Restore these bats??

[earlywynnfan]

I'm looking for opinions from vintage bat collectors. Usually, I'm of the opinion that gamers should stay the way they are. However, I have 2 bats in my collection that fall more into the realm of "abuse." Splitting, severe knob chipping, stamping loss (Torre), dry rot (Rousch), etc.

These are for me to keep, although if I ever sell I'd of course disclose the repairs. Do you think restoring these would actually hurt the value?

So what would you do?

Thanks, Ken
