1930 A's Team photo question
 
About 20 years ago, I was attending an estate sale of a long time neighbor. Looking through many of the items that were going up for sale, I found some old newspapers. I saw that they went back into the early 30's. I opened them up and looked at the sports news of the day. When I opened one of the newspapers, it had a large insert of the 1930 Phila. A's championship team. It was from the Phila. Inquirer, Oct. 5, 1930 and measures about 10 1/2" x 16". Some of the players; C. Mack in the center, Foxx, Grove, Cochran, Simmons, etc. I purchase the papers to save it from possibly getting thrown away.

I looked on ebay and found 8x10s of the same photo.
But this is an original insert from the newspaper, not in the best of condition, but nice for it's age. I put the newspaper insert of the A's team in a frame and have it out of direct sunlight hanging on a wall. What can be done to preserve it, is it worth finding someone to restore it, or let it as is.
Any thoughts of value?

A's photo
 
These are newspaper premiums issued in both 1929 and 1930. The 1929 issue featured both world series teams-one A's and another Cubs. In 1930 I think it was only the A's. Both inserts are similar in design but different team photos of the A's. I have all three and think they are very cool.
