Yes, whatever you do with old papers would only be for your collecting pleasure, and old scrapbooks full of articles and pictures do surface occasionally and don't go for much when they do. I doubt I could even get the framing costs out of my Sunday section pieces, but I love looking at them. And I could probably spend a lifetime trying to find them again, that's how rare they are. Throw in the minimal cost, and for me they've been a great collecting niche.
