Skinned cards are ~50% of a card and sometimes the front is thinner than what was skinned and therefore could be less than 50%. I have some OJ's where skinning removed a small percentage on the face of the card. Does that make skinned OJ's containing a nearly entire front but, less than 50% no longer a card?

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.
