Just wondering. I used to have a fascination with old newspapers. Used to skim some rare newspaper site all the time.
I’ve been collecting newspapers since 1968. I do not anymore. They are dying. My local paper - Spartanburg Herald Tribune - is down to 4 pages for the front page section. My collection is so vast that I can tell you which newspapers I DON’T have.
Nixon Resigns (a form of media protest)
Obama Elected - ( sold out at ALL locations in SC)
Beyond that, I have EVERY newspaper of historical significance from 1968-2008.
What are they worth?
Not much. But to me, they are valuable as historical documents, from an era before the Internet, when the media had a slight semblance of impartiality.
And yes, if the Yankees won a big one, I saved those papers too...
