I think for a '52 mantle, card restoration would be the way to go. If you find the right guy, it could do a world of difference. That's a better idea than chopping it up into 100 pieces. As long as you're honest about it, people will understand and not be upset.
A previous thread shows how it worked with a Wagner.
