Depending on the size of it and the price I would be interested in the Clemens if/when you decide to sell.

If they were real printing plates from a newspaper they would have had to be taken out of the printing facility by an employee. They usually are aluminum and are washed clean and reused for next day of printing. I do own 6 original printing plates from the New York Times( my uncle was a pressman for 50 years.) started there when he was 16. The plates are from the 86 Mets World Series, NY Giants Super Bowl in the 80's and Wasington Redskins Super bowl in the 80's 2 pages each. They are basically one of a kind since they are washed everyday and needed to be removed from printing faculty on the slide. Not sure of value but a pretty neat item to display.
