with the sincerely it might be too big for a tradition card but maybe a 5x7.

It's definitely a cool idea Chad. I do like how that one is mounted to the card it's very elegant looking. The other option I've considered is getting it mounted onto a similar color 3x5 index card and reslabbing/framing that way

i wouldn't have it glued onto anything so the process can't be reversed. i'd get it "sandwiched" in between the custom...it may get loosy/floaty like you see sometimes with the topps insert stuff but i'd rather sacrifice some of that then being glued on. for cheaper sigs i probably wouldn't care but with a ruth i'd be more discerning...ymmv.

there are a couple good custom people on the board.

Just leave it as it is. Why would you ever make a baseball card out of it? It is what it is. It doesn't need to be beautified.

Hey David, I wouldn't make a baseball card out of it. My thoughts currently are to keep it in encapsulated, tap it straight and mount the PSA holder with framers tape to a background which can be matched in color to the GPC. This will ensure the case stays damage free and it doesn't look as if the cut is floating too much.
