I once held that very card in the palm of my hand, sans any slab, holder, loader, sleeve, or anything... And when I held and beheld it, I too thought of sacrificing a good common card so its borders could be merged with that Wagner by one of the good reconstructionists. Not to scam anyone, and not because it might be worth more (it really isn't about the money with these old cards), but because it would result in a nice looking, presentable example of the icon of our little hobby.
