What would you do: Keep the magazine complete, or remove the print to enjoy by itself (possibly framed)?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I would remove it and enjoy it. This hobby is supposed to bring joy so do what makes you happy.

These framed items are examples of what can be done with nice scans of the originals and noone is the wiser.

WOW those are awesome. I would do this and then sell the originals so someone could enjoy them.
