I was thinking exactly what Jim said, I dont think you get close to the value of the entire piece if its cut up. Most of those cuts would be really ugly no matter how skillfully you executed the "surgery" and from my experience, ugly cuts sell for ugly money. $1500 would be about all you could hope for on a good day cut up, but as a full piece I think you get that easy without ruining the integrity of the piece. I am all for cutting up album pages and team sheets as long as the signatures end up being attractive in the process (you see some REALLY bad ones all the time where people cut around a Mel Ott signature really ugly so not interfere with a Doc Cramer for example, which is just stupid). Leave it be!
