The presentation of the actual autograph is the most important component to value.
The Ruth is at the very top of the album page. It will present much better as a uniform cut rather than having 75% of the area blank below the autograph IMO. Also, the crease through the center of the page will be eliminated.
Maybe since the Cobb is pretty much centered and will have the crease going through it either way, it might be better as a page cut.
The Young due to the tape stain needs to be cut to be as uniform as possible. Again, the crease can be removed with a cut.
Obviously, only my opinion but if I was collecting and wanting to insure future value, I would cut all 3 and encapsulate and grade the autos.
