Ripped Card Value

[gwynn_fan]

I purchased a Joe Mauer 2008 Allen and Ginter rip card #/99 and was told the value was $25.00 with a low of $10 delivered.
The card came today and the rip card was well....ripped. And, the mini card gone.
The question is...is the Mauer at this point still a $25/$10 card or, because it has been ripped, is the Mauer card value still $25/$10, since it wasn't best rip job or worth much less?

The rip cards are priced in beckett as ripped. Some people use a razor blade to remove the mini without much damage while others just rip. The price to me would be 10 for a bad rip and 25 for a clean rip.
