any advice on collecting vintage newspaper panels and photos?

Those framed pieces look great and obviously have value. But the clippings with only text and no visual aesthetics don't seem to carry much (if any) value.

I would not approach this segment if you are looking for a potential investment that would increase in value (or even retain its value). But if it's just for your collection and satisfaction, you can accumulate some pretty significant, rare and historic pieces for very little money.
