HAha... I'm no beast, Mike, but I appreciate the compliment.
I think you are right and I was off on the first estimate -- $2K tops with that much missing, and your 1.5K looks good.
The damage on the fake Mantle posted in the OP is so over the top. We see a lot of beaters in the hobby, many cards that are "well loved", but it seems rare to find a card ripped up like that (usually at that point the card would be tossed out, not worth saving).
