			leave it alone, put it in a top loader and dont touch it lol. I dont know the size of that strip but i do know they make top loaders 8.5 by 11 inches, if your strip is less than 11 inches, you can use that and Cut the rest down to fit your strip. I assume its bugger but id find something to put it in and by the way thats a real nice uncut strip

			You should never alter the card in any way. I'm not an expert on this set, but I think everyone will agree that cutting or trimming a card is a bad idea.

			I will take the devil's advocate side though and say it's not always cut and dry. That strip is not uncommon and I would have less of a problem with cutting it than some other things done in our hobby. As I stated, I still would leave it alone but it's not overwhelming.

|  Keep it whole, even though... 
			
			Although I am against cutting strips that have somehow made it intact up until now, I thought I would point out that this particular strip is only nine cards, and thus has already had a card removed (Sisler).

			I would rather own the individual cards.  I think it probably better not to cut.  You can always cut it later.  You can never uncut it.  Leaving it uncut makes it more susceptible to damage. That said, I have been known to cut one now and then. It's not very sophisticated but ultimately can be preferable to not cutting one. |
