They may be intact now, but in the future?
Capturing these images now, will help reproduce them at a later time.
On a forum I am on, high res images of old labels are captured and shared.
People can then reproduce the labels when they restore the item.
In a similar vein, I noticed when something rare shows up on ebay, a link is posted here.
An opportunity is lost when this happens.
When you try to follow the thread, the info is lost since the auction happened a long time ago.
The info should be captured for collectors to learn from.
