Just to be technical, that a card is cut from a sheet (later on) doesn't automatically make it a scrap. Scrap cards, or at least the sheets as the whole, have printing defect and I'm not aware the Wagner has a printing defect. There is a scrap Wagner out there, though-- oversized and with a slight dirty ghost overprint on the front.

I think the whole high grade graded card of the hobby is stupidity and silliness. But that's just my opinion. I too wonder how many of the card have been altered. If you told to a non-collector the story of high grade card collecting-- with alterations, ridiculous prices, resubmissions for better grades, buying the label--, they'd think it's complete group stupidity-- and they'd be right.

I don't think the value of that Wagner will go down, in part because it's fame, anomaly and because it likely being trimmed has been the worst kept secret for years.
