Then send the cards in to PSA for grading.

I beg to differ. That Musial card PSA 9 would pay for the box a couple times over and a ten would be a white whale for any Musial collector. I had a 7 that I sold for $120 about a month ago. Any of the other cards graded 8 would sell well. I had a bunch of "uncut" baseball players that I bought for pennies on the dollar but I made the mistake of cutting them with curved edges (how they were meant to be cut) without realizing PSA slabs squared off wheaties as well. I would have made an extra $800-1000

In its present form it is much tougher than the very common cut cards, I would never cut it up IMO.
Think of it as a uncut sheet or unopened pack, or a complete strip of "W" cards.
It would be the centerpiece to a nice Wheaties collection.
Why grade something that is OBVIOUSLY authentic????
There is demand for cards that were never cut as intended.
It would look great framed.

Take to a local print shop and they can professionally cut it for you.

I guess it depends on why you purchased the item. My collector side would get it framed and hang it on my wall but my investor side would cut it up and turn a nice profit. I completely understand your point and I am always torn whenever I hand cut a card, whether it be wheaties, bazooka etc. I always hate defiling something I love but from the ashes arises something more beautiful; a minty fresh vintage card. I have never cut up an entire panel or box of anything and personally would never touch them with a blade but again, it all depends on why you purchased the item in the first place.
