not sure
I am not sure of the right answer but I have never cut a strip up. It's just too sad for me to do it....and I know I could have sold some strips for more that way. If I had this as a consignment I would go ahead and get it slabbed as it is, even if it's AUT, and then sell it. If I had no "collecting" heart, and it was only money, then I guess it would get cut up. I think you could make a few more dollars that way, though I am not sure. These aren't too rare, even in strip form, so it's not like you are cutting up the holy grail, if you decide to cut it. Good luck and let us know....best regards

My first inclination always is "leave it as is", but it's possible the person you sell it to will cut it up. You just don't know.

I wouldn't have the heart to cut it up but there are much worse things going on in our hobby I guess.

Interesting and helpful comments from everyone -- thanks! Last night/this morning, two Net54ers emailed me about purchasing it (intact). I just emailed both of them the same price and terms. If they choose not to purchase it (intact), I will offer it up on the B/S/T before I go to eBay. I thinks that's fair. I too would prefer that a collector buys it and keep it intact. It's pretty cool.

I actually bought two uncut strips of ten at an antique store here in Santa Barbara about 17 years ago. I have one of them in my office in a frame, they look very nice. I will admit, I cut the other one up and did a terrible job. I cut them in pairs....It is nice to see these pop up from time to time. There is no way to see how many of these are out there left. I remember Heritage Auctions a while back had a full strip that they sold as well... nice strip though!

Mike,
Didn't these come with 5 players to each strip and two strips to the set? I'm sure the ones I've seen have another player next to Speaker. In that case, this one's already been cut up. Edited to add: Found one. Easier than I thought. http://legendaryauctions.com/LotDeta...100&category=1 Last edited by Jim VB; 08-14-2009 at 10:53 PM.
