Introduction and first question 1901 newspaper
Long time collector from Rochester, NY. My collection is mostly cards and balls but I recently aquired a newspaper front page that might have value. It is the front page from the Boston Globe dated May 9th 1901. It covers the first ever home game of the Boston Americans (before they were the Red Sox). 1901 was the first year of the Americans so this page covers the first ever pro baseball game in Boston. It also has pictures of some of the players from the team including Cy Young. Anyone have any idea of what it might be worth or know where I can get a true value? I would be interested in putting it in a proper auction (not ebay) to see what someone would pay for it. Until then I will continue to enjoy it hanging in my bar. It is in good condition considering it is 108 years old.
