If you cut a Wagner with scissors leaving 51% the bottom of the card and 49% the top then does only the bottom qualify?

If you "restored" the bottom half by adding 49% to the top you'd have a card worth less than the top restored with a bottom.

My point is that percentages and restorations will never be able have a standard metric. Cards, no matter how complete or doctored, slabbed or discussed are only as good as their appeal to buyers.

This is a really good point Eric
