Thoughts on 1952-1956 Autograph album w/ Webbo Clarke, Arch McDonald + 70 others

[Mac927]

Just purchased this autograph album and Im torn on what to do with it? Should I keep it as a whole album or should I remove pages to get certified? There is a Arch McDonald & Mel Allen on the front and back, which would be awesome slabbed considering they worked together for a year. There are so many stars from 1952-1956 that it is tempting to remove several pages.

After doing a little research, I finally found Ernesto Clarke, who I never heard of before but apparently is a tough autograph? I read that on an old post here. I did find a 1955 Senators signed ball but he signed Vibert Clarke. Any info on this signature I would really appreciate.

I attached some pics.

I personally think it is a shame when autograph albums are but up. That being said- if a high % of the album are cards that are affixed to the pages and not autographs signed directly on the pages- that might change my mind.
I have 2 albums- one from 1933 with many HOFers etc that people have wanted to buy and cut up but I can't do it and another with English bands from the 1960's Beatles, Stones and many no one has heard of and I can't split that either.
