Thanks for your response. I would, though, like to address a couple of points.

First, unlike something like the Declaration of Independence (the example you give), uncut sheets were originally manufactured to be cut up, so I'm not sure if doing it after the fact is as egregious a destruction of history as you imply.

Second, to be perfectly clear, I posed this question not with the intention of buying sheets to cut them up but rather to get some idea how the market would value them. It seems to me that IF sheets could be cut up and the cards slabbed, then, even though I would not be the one to do it, because presumably somebody else would, that other person would set the floor of the sheet's market value -- the break value of the individual slabbed cards, perhaps adjusted somewhat to factor in the risk associated with cutting it up.
