It could definitely be slabbed as-is. But the main risk is in shipping it. It could split completely during its time in transit. You could probably protect it to some extent, but the risk is still there.
Aesthetically, it wouldn't look very nice inside the slab with most of it being separated. Plus, the flip will likely say "traced signature" or something to that extent. So if it were mine, I would professionally restore it, put it in a mylar sleeve, and mat/frame it with a great photo of the Babe.
