I would think the true decision lies with your intentions.
Personally I would keep as is and if you wish to display you would need to research archival display items to avoid the usual decomposition that occurs in newspaper with light and exposure.
Value is a different story as no matter what virtue signaling we wish to do as collectors, the silly slab adds additional measurable resale. The unfamiliarity that most average joes have with the issue, they would not consider bidding unless they see it as a recognized item with PSA.
I feel comfortable stating that the slabbed value of the Gehrig would likely surpass the value of the piece as a whole unless the absolute right eyes are on it. Then the DiMaggio would be additional cake and the others frosting toward those profits.
My thoughts.
