I like the idea, pending a proper scan, but I think it depends on what
the "collector's" objective is. That is, for example, whether the
collection is of "good" pictures or "original" pictures (but then who's
to say what is either). Maybe an addendum to the file name could be
added to indicate what has been done to an original file, but then, that
information would probably soon be lost in history.
(Yea, I know, I'm a big help.)
You've certainly done a nice job on these. The hardest ones will be
those with not only a sharp angle, but a bend in the original page.
