I would have the signatures mounted in a custom card either blank or with a design because IMO it would make it look much nicer. It would also look nicer if the person doing the mounting would cut(frame) it in like the photo.
What did you do with the rest of the ball?

If I slabbed it I would sell it. Currently I have too many nice displays and this one's gathering dust in a corner. I don't like modern cards, even if they have vintage items with them, and the leather won't flatten enough. Not interested in re-matting/re-framing. I will either leave it as-is or get it encapsulated.
I kept the rest of the panels - some of the other autographs were mangled and none would display well. I had counted on being able to flatten out the panels, but the leather began cracking on the test pieces. In this display the Mantle/Berra piece is only slightly flattened.
