easier to sell piece signatures, if its not baseball's equivalent of declaration of independence, it's not a sin. it's yours to do with what you want. it'snot like cutting up a jersey or a bat , which was meant to be intact. signatures get cut up all the time. i would take a picture of them all together though, and when you sell, include that picture of the full item in case someone asks to show it wasn't a "cut" made to order so to speak.

Depends. I've purchased multiple-signed sheets from various events just for one or two signatures on them with a plan to eventually cut them out and have them mounted with nice images.

Here it is:
  I don't mind doing the extra leg work to separate them (most can stand well on their own), but I obviously don't want to take on the extra cost for re-submitting/slabbing them. Thoughts? Last edited by cjedmonton; 09-16-2012 at 05:06 PM.

separating multiple signatures
typically I would be fine with separating signatures so long as they did not overlap, or were on a medium that could be displayed tastefully as individuals... In this case I would say leave it be as many of the signatures on this program would not display nicely as individuals...
congrats on your purchase! -Dave

I know it has to do with money, but I dont think items like that should be cut up. It is a nice historical item from baseballs past and can be dated base on the material it is on. If you cut it all up, and put them onto other diplays I think you lose the reference of where and when it came from. Just my two cents.

I don't see a clean cut on there and although it isn't akin to Baseball's Declaration of Independence - I wouldn't cut it up. Neat piece but just a tough sell either way.

I recognize sage advice when I read it. I'm starting to lean toward leaving it as is. I have a few items in the queue for Huggins & Scott's December auction. I'll get their $.02 as well before deciding.
Thanks, everyone.
