Buy some copies to resell later.

Has an on-line version of anything ever become a collectable?   ???

No jay, folks that collect historic papers want them in original condition.

1. Purchase an extra paper or two
2. Place the entire paper into a plastic sleeve unfolded other that the way it came.
3. Place the covered papers in a box to keep out light.
4. Keep the box in a cool dry place.

Don't take the saved papers in and out of their sleeves. People don't want papers with folds and creases.

Above all else do not write anything on the papers.

I could see the original maybe being worth something but even if this Sunday's reprinted as an exact replica, it will still only be an exact replica and I bet they don't even go that far anyway.

Did today's paper live up to your expectations? Of all the papers that ran stories about the Titanic, The Vindicator had the best front page.

 :)  You sure can. Go to the business office in the old building and tell the clerk what issue you want, and she'll be overjoyed to sell it to you at the regular Sunday price. It's on the first floor.
