Need Advice: To Rebuild a Replica Trophy or Frame it?!

[GoCubsGo32]

Hey everyone,

I recently won the original plaque that belonged to the Cannon Trophy(college football rivalry trophy between Purdue University and University of Illinois). This plaque has been on the rivalry trophy since the first year they started the tradition in 1943. As you can see, the plaque is filled and they started a new one to place the 2014 score.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to display this....

Should I build a replica Cannon Trophy to size or should I frame the plaque with pictures from the Cannon Trophy games from over the years.

The plaque:

What the Cannon Trophy looks like:

Any thoughts or feedback appreciated.

I like the idea of framing it with game pictures, and a picture of the original trophy.

Thanks guys!

I think I'll end up framing it.

After doing research about that Cannon and the history..looks like it might cost a nice penny to make the replica.
