I don't disagree that certainly some high end vintage / important cards are either sheet cut or altered or otherwise at least have some history of monkey business in their past. But I would find it hard to believe that a majority of Fogel's stuff - almost all marquee cards in 8's and higher - had sheets with those cards available to cut from. Goudey Ruths? The entire 1914 and '15 Cracker Jack sets? Again, yes I'm sure some are altered but I don't know that I'd bet on a "majority" of them being sheet cut. Some just trimmed or subtly altered? Much more likely.
