I'm going to try to sell it and if I can't get a decent price I may consider cutting it up. PSA 10 Nolan Ryan's have recently sold for $2275, $1874 and $3000 respectively. I can't find any completed sales of the Raines RC.

Barring creasing and with access to a very, very precise cutter operator, that is where the ultimate value would be. Otherwise, you are selling a (very neat) display piece and/or transferring the risk of harvesting potential to the buyer.
You can get both cards (PSA 5 or 6, or nice raw) for under $50. A Ryan 8 is only $80 maybe.
EDIT to add: LOL, I checked eBay to find out if I was pulling prices out of my butt from 1995, and I came across this.

The other values seem in line also.
