Posted By: <b>steve</b><p>Is there much value to old baseball newspapers? I have a June 28, 1909, The Macon Daily Telegraph, Late Sporting News section. It is the full sports section 17 x 27 inches, wonderful condition. The front shows a 9 1/2 inch picture of Ty Cobb in batting pose, also written text article stating Cobb is the most prominent player in the game....

Libertyforall or some other goof ball will buy it and cut out the images out so that they can encase them in plastic and sell them to unsuspecting goobs...<br /><br />edited to add: I'd just keep it as is, as for value, who knows what someone will pay for stuff like that.
