Preserving the original window sticker

I received the original window sticker with the 986 Boxster I just purchased. Always wanted a Porsche with the dealer sticker, so I'm going to take it down to the local FedEx/Kinkos and have them make a color copy.

Should I:

A) Laminate the original to keep it preserved (has been folded many times and the folds are getting thin)

B) Laminate the color copy and stick the original away in a clear plastic page keeper

C) Any other ideas?



Just wondering what conventional wisdom says to do.

B. Keep it away from sunlight.

Alright, thanks for the input. Went with option B and decided not to subject the original to the lamination process. It's only original once. Results turned out good:

CA dealers are not allowed to let the original sticker leave the dealership that I know of. Where are you? (I love the "USA" bit. Why put down anything?)

You do what I do when I buy a new rig. I gather and keep everything.
Did you snag a Boxster brochure, too?

Yup. All the original manuals, pamphlets, brochures, paperwork, service history, etc, were in the owners manual pouch. Nice to have some traceable history and one of the reasons I picked the car.

Sounds like something only California could dream up. I'm in MN but the car came from Cali.
