1953 Stahl Meyer Set (Advice?)

[GeoPoto]

These are the only two I have -- the PSA Pop report says there have been 8 Campanella's graded higher than PSA 1; and 10 Irvin's. I would expect a PSA 1 Campanella to sell for around $1,000 and a PSA 1 Irvin around $200.

Ok, got the pictures up. Here are some questions:

1. Since these are from an uncirculated, unwaxed sheet that never touched a hot dog, are these more valuable or less valuable because they are so unique?

2. How unique are these? One of a kind?

3. Would Mantle collectors get excited about these?

4. Keep together as whole set?

5. Best way to sell these?

My opinions:

1) Usually cards cut from an unfinished sheet are worth less than their "pack-released" counterparts. Trimmed cards with solid eye appeal can sell for anywhere between PSA 2-4 prices compared to their damaged regular counterparts. But with rare/scarce sets, I don't know that there is any standard. Scrap T206 cards missing color passes (printed without specific ink colors) can sell for more than regular cards based on their rarity.
2) ?
3) Of course.
4) Individually to player collectors
5) Auction; companies will come to you now that you've posted them here.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but they would probably be a lot more valuable if you hadn't cut them up.

I didn't cut them as I stated in the original story at the top. I can only imagine how cool this would have been as an intact complete sheet!
