1962 POST Mickey Mantle/Roger Maris panels...what to do?

1966CUDA

Opinions wanted. Top panel has no creases or wrinkles. Bottom panel has small wrinkle on the left edge of the Mantle and faint top to bottom wrinkle on the Maris. PSA grades the complete panel, they grade the individual cards as "perforated" if separated, or as hand cut if you cut around border. What do I do with the two panels? Grade the top one as a complete panel, separate the top panel and have graded as "perforated", or cut tight around each card in top panel and get the "hand cut" designation? And the bottom panel...what do I do since both do have wrinkles.

Thanks-

If you cut, definitely get a mid-line or better paper cutter at an office supply store. Don't try with a pair of scissors.

No, no scissors.....I've had my practice with Kellogg's stuff and MLB Photo-stamps. Anyone else have opinions on these Post panels??

Seems to be a lot of the cards available, so I'd keep the panels as they are and grade the clean ones.

If you cut them....... Your going to change something from one of its rarest forms to its most common form. Thats one thing Id think of before doing it.

IMO Its usually best to leave items in their rarest state, and in that case the cards in a panel, BUT both of yours are missing the magazine and the LIFE ad attached to the cards, so its not a real big deal, .....these 2 cards are far from rare, in any form... and slab hype might get you a few extra $$.

If you cut them I would use a nice office paper cutter or even a cutter that women use in scrapbooks. My wife scrapbooks and has some cool cutters that have a nice straight edge. Any craft shop has them.

The panel with the wrinkles actually had the LIFE ad attached but I separated it cux it would have been too long to fit in a PSA slab.
