I have these old new papers that my great grandmother gave me. I have my "steeler mancave" / home office that I have alot of Steelers stuff hanging from the wall like photos, flags, drawings, player cards, plaques etc... and last night had a pretty cool idea:

It would be cool if I bought like a poster size frame, got these papers and cut out pictures and made like a collage out of them.

But as I was about to do this my friend stopped me and told me they were too valuable to butcher.

So I was looking to get some opinions on what I should do with these. Below are photos of them. You can see some arent in the best of shape.

I like the idea of either a collage or maybe framing each piece. HOWEVER, to do this (especially the collage) without defacing the original pieces, you could get copies made at FedEx/Kinkos. They can pretty much accommodate any size copy and color copies come out well. I know because I went nutz after Super Bowl XL LOL

I think that is your best route also and you can save the original.

I think this is an excellent idea! :drink: I have some of those same newspapers, along with others from that era, and I have them wrapped in plastic and in my Steelers bin. There is no way I would deface them and clip out the pictures - they're far too valuable to me!

You could have the copies made and do a whole wall collage! That would look really cool!
