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.

Whats the value cut up ? $1,500.00 , It should sell for that intact. I once sold an important major league contract years ago Johnny Grabowski's LAST Yankees contract ! And then found out the buyer was going to cut the signature out and discard the contract. Myself and another collector had to come to the rescue. If I had known what he planned for it I never would have sold it. Money ain;t everything

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!

Absolutely 100% agreed, sell the EVENT not the signatures

Like most things in life, it depends. In this case I would leave as is since the cuts wouldnt be clean and none of the autographs are scarce. Based on the purchase price you may be in danger of losing money. Cool piece and you should keep intact IMO!
