I am assuming your initial comment was asking whether you should keep it as a panel but clean up the edges? Either way, just wanted to point out that this is one of the best of the Mantle Bazooka issues to have in panel form. The 1966 and 1967 Mantles are identical. The only way to distinguish them is, I believe, is when they are in panel form. I believe yours is a 1966 (although have not seen a graded 1967 to confirm my suspicions).
As for prices, most panels I have seen were listed in excess of $1,000. I think those prices are a bit steep, and it does not appear anyone is selling at that price. The only panel I have seen that has sold was a 1964 in similar condition to yours (very presentable but trimmed slightly short and only graded authentic). It sold on eBay for $250 plus shipping, which I think was a very good price for the bidder. Cannot say for sure what yours would get though, but those are just some numbers to give you a sense of the market. It is a cool piece.
