Byron- Neat find and from an original owner too! What's your opinion on restoring or leave as is for BMX collectable's?

It seems only a decade ago restoring a classic or considered rare road bike was routine. Now for the rarest road bikes leaving rust, paint chips and scratches are worth far more. There's a fellow near me with some incredible late 40's and 50's classic racers, most repainted and restored. Gorgeous machines. He's always listing them but rarely see any takers. On occasion I'll see another's listing and sale for more money- same era, components, but in worse to average condition.
