Default I Think I Found a Mantle Premium - Can I "Save It?!"

Been show hopping like crazy and snagged this from a $5/stack as I was pretty sure it was a "premium-something" but couldn't remember seeing it anywhere.

After some digging, I'm fairly certain its a 1964 Rawlings Premium Photo and appears to be pretty rare to a standard collector, but not so much to a Mantle PSA-Registry Collector, considering POP count (and the inability to find listings, former or current with this image)

That being said; it appears to be laminated and mounted - given its low pop-count, I have a strong desire to get this slabbed and was wondering if anyone has had success in removal or even cutting down the backer-board on a mounted item like this?

Considering what I have in this, minimal damage is preferred but "will take it" if I can get it to the point where the Registry-Nuts Collectors who like Mickey Mantle can fight over it, even if that involves a rip/tear along the way.

Thanks and appreciate the help!
