Think fold not cut.  I have the same problem.  I have a marquee that is too big.  Yes I could chop it up, but a resale value with folds sounds better.  Take it to a print shop.  They have blades that makes clean cuts.  You might be able to get a copy to fit instead.
If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

I bet folding it for any amount of time would also kill the resale value.

but folding is easy and will probably help mounting.

this is assuming that it's not a piece of glass (like my defender marquee).  Then glass cutting is your only option)
