+1 for what Cary had said.

Collector value would also be a determining factor.
It might be better in the long run to sell the uncut -9 Op Rod to a collector and purchase a "cut" Op Rod. I've noticed that uncut Op Rods usually fetch over $100.00, while the "cut" Op Rods in good condition can be had for around $50.00.
