A plaque or a frame?
Search for a sports keepsake and you’ll mostly find plaques: the page reprinted as it ran, laminated or mounted on wood or metal, often close to $200 from a newspaper’s own store. We start from the article itself, rebuilt ad-free, and make it a framed print or an acrylic plaque. Comparing options? Read plaque vs frame vs acrylic, or see That’s Great News prices side by side.
A clean newspaper page
Rebuilt from the article, ad-free, in the paper’s style. Not a scan or a screenshot.
The size you choose
Frames from 8×12″ to 24×32″, acrylic plaques from 12×16″ to 18×24″. The price depends only on the size, never on the article’s length.
A wood frame or an acrylic plaque
A frame in black, white, wood or dark wood, with an acrylic front and a removable print. Or a frameless plaque, sealed in acrylic.
The moments families frame
Sports milestones are 5% of the 450 framed articles we analyzed. The buyer is often a mom or a dad (7 moms and 7 dads in our recent sports orders), for a daughter as often as a son. Here is what they frame most.
A state title or a championship
The final, the trophy, the hug after the match, or a program’s first title.
Ordered by his dad · 16×20 · ~450 words, 1 photo
Athlete of the week, or a feature on them
The paper’s weekly honor, or the story that calls them the best in the state.
Ordered by her mom · 12×16 · ~600 words, 1 portrait
A senior season
The last season, a comeback from injury, the state final they had waited for. Or all their articles, in one frame.
Ordered by his mom · 12×16 · ~350 words, 1 photo

Frequently asked questions
Copyright, paywalls, old clippings: our complete guide to framing a newspaper or magazine article covers it all.
-
The article itself, framed or as an acrylic plaque, for a birthday, Christmas or graduation. It keeps the moment intact, ad-free, at the size you choose. Send the link, approve the proof within 48 hours, and we ship it. Framed from $79.
-
Yes. We rebuild the article ad-free, then make it an acrylic plaque or a framed print. Compare both in plaque vs frame vs acrylic, or see the acrylic plaque.
-
Keep the original as it is. Newsprint yellows and turns brittle over time, and the National Archives advises displaying a copy rather than the original. Send us a scan or a photo; the clipping stays safe with you.
-
Yes. Two of the sports designs on this page came from a state association’s site and a college athletics site. Send the link. If it’s behind a paywall, as one framed article in four is, send a subscriber gift link or the text and photos. If the page has been taken down, a screenshot or a PDF works.
-
Yes. We can design several articles into one frame: contact us before ordering and we’ll suggest the size. Old clippings work too: 7% of the articles we frame are more than five years old, and a scan or a photo is enough.
-
You get the proof within 48 hours on weekdays. Once approved, it arrives within a week; most orders arrive 5 to 10 days after ordering. In the US, order by December 16 for Christmas. Date is tight? Contact us before ordering.
-
Yes. The proof and every email go to you; only the frame goes to them, with no invoice inside.
-
You approve the proof before anything is printed, revisions are free, and you have 30-day returns with free return shipping.
