Default W572 with Babe Ruth Strip...

Was digging through some old items of mine and discovered this:
1923 W572 Strip with Babe Ruth on it. It is ripped on the final two cards.
My question is should i cut them and send them off to get graded?
Or should i keep it intact?
What does everyone think is more valuable.
I am leaning more towards cutting it since the Ruth seems to hold the most value.
Thanks for your opinions
Andy

Actually a complete strip with Ruth is rare. Grading would add little value to the cards as most strip cards get auth grades as they are trimmed by definition. Are you looking to sell it?

I don't know ken,
Just discovered it today and had to look around on eBay and PSA websites to figure out what it even was...
It isn't something I collect so it just surprised me...a good surprise.

Those are great strips and very rare with Ruth. I think they are way more valuable not cut up and no way I would do that....That being said, no doubt someone would give the scissors a try.
