Glad to hear most people would keep it intact - I asked the question because I heard from a few people who said they would cut it and grade them. It has always shocked me that so many Babe Ruth and other legends game-used jerseys and bats are cut into pieces for current era baseball relic cards. The size of the uncut sheet is too large to fit into a slab - it is larger than and slabbed that PSA, SGC, and Beckett use. I also learned that some of the strip cards are considered variations due to colors or clarity of background images. It is interesting to see the value of 1920s strip cards really go up in the past couple of years, especially some of the higher grade Ruth and Cobb cards. The uncut strip originated from a large strip card collector who is selling a handful of PSA/SGC grade 7 to 9 strip cards from this set.
