From 1% to 50%. I had 3 responses. Personally, I think every time a card re-appears with a different cert number, the chances are greater for something having been done to the card. Overall, my guess is 30-35% of vintage cards have had at least one item in the survey performed before it was encapsulated. I am with Leon when it comes to foriegn objects and marks, if it wasn't there to begin with and it can be removed without hurting the integrity of the card, go for it. Trimming and color are complete no-no's.
