I was always interested in the guide lines on a stamp, So I turned it into a  collection. Some collectors don't like  the strait edge. But  it helps to find the location of the stamp  and where it was in the full sheet  before it was cut. Show me your lines. This Scott 300 was in the Centre of   the sheet right side. Cut on top and at  the left. And a small bit of the guide arrow. The lines  make it easier to plate. Now you have a starting point to recreate a full sheet. All you need is a plating chart. for positions and plate types, If your an APS member you can  get the plating charts from there library. They will send you the scans. I will not buy a stamp that has been re-perfed. It makes it look beater but takes away from the hobby, Makes it harder to find its original position.
