Default Babe Ruth Autograph Question

Looking for some input on getting my Babe Ruth autograph authenticated/graded. I have the history behind it and it was passed down by family so no reason to believe its fake on my side.

I assume this would be most valuable as a PSA Cut? I have a history with PSA / Grading but not in sports world. I say Cut because the card was stuck in a scrap book and the tapae pulled off some of the card before it was given to me.

Would I actually cut it myself? Any tips before doing so and sending in for grading?

Thanks for input!

EDIT: See JollyElm's repost of my picutres below! Thanks!

As David said do not cut it. Why would you reduce the size of the item it is on? That would detract significantly. The whole postcard gives some perspective to the signature, otherwise it is just another clip.

Thank you for all the input! My only experience with PSA to date was grading trading cards. I have seen some PSA graded cuts but not a full size item like this?

Does PSA have slabs to fit something like this? How would I protect it? Thanks again.

Auctions are funny things. Sometimes you get way more than expected and sometimes way less. My thinking is that you should choose a price you would be satisfied with and put it up on the BST board. No fees and very possibly a lot quicker than sending to an auction house and having to wait until their next auction.
If you get what you want, what does it matter where you sell it?
