Here is fun question for ya: say if I restored 
a cel for you, and I become a famous animator in 
the future, will that change your mind about the 
value of that restored cel(btw, that's the field 
i'm studying in, and pursuing)?

No, because you had nothing to do with the cel 
originally. You corrected flaws in the cel due to 
mishandling, time, etc., but was never involved 
in the production process.
